World Reference Center for Arboviruses.

Abstract

Virus and/or antiserum to 84 strains were received from 21 countries. From these Eyach virus from Germany was related to Colorado tick fever virus, new Kemerovo group viruses were identified from Denmark and Norway, a new phlebotomus fever group virus from the Central African Republic and several new tick-borne viruses from Japan, USSR, and Alaska. Type specific California group sera were made in hamsters and sulfhydrylagarose agarose columns were applied to purification of mercury-tagged VEE RNA. Outbreaks of Korean hemorrhagic fever, chromosome-breakage in Yanomama Indians and Lyme (Connecticut) arthritis were investigated using serologic techniques.
