World Reference Center for Arboviruses and Retroviruses

Abstract

The World Reference Center for Arboviruses and Retroviruses identified viruses from Indonesia, Ivory Coast, Viet Nam, Thailand, Angola, and USA. LaCrosse virus from an encephalitic dog was identified. A Palyam group virus, Kasba, caused arthrogryposis in cattle of Japan. ELISA was adapted to test 17D yellow fever vaccinees. H-9 and EBV-transformed lymphocyte cell lines were established to isolate HIV and other human retroviruses. Virus reference reagents for arboviruses were distributed to military laboratories and other laboratories world-wide. The low passage collection of arboviruses was augmented to over 460 strains.
