Abstract

Information from: J. D. Converse, U.S. Naval Medical Research Unit No. 3, Cairo A.R.E.Antigenic group: Ungrouped.Original source: Isolated by J. D. Converse et al.' from pool of 2 adult female Amblyomma loculosum ticks collected by hand off dead Roseate Terns on 8 July 1973 at Bird Island, Seychelles, Lat. 4°35'S, Long. 55°44'E. Habitat: Sandy cay at an elevation of about 12 ft above sea level. Storage: Live ticks forwarded to laboratory. Never frozen.>Method of isolation in laboratory: Tick suspension inoculated ic into newborn mice on 26 July 1973.Validity of isolation: Virus reisolated from original tick suspension 9 mo later.Properties of virus: Physical: Filtered through 450 nm Millipore but retained by 220 nm membrane. Chemical: No data. Resistance to chemicals: Sensitive to 1:100 sodium deoxycholate; control titer 104.5, after-treatment titer <101.0. Antigenic: No hemagglutinin detected using infected suckling mouse brain extracted with sucrose acetone and tested with goose erythrocytes at pH 5.8 through 7.2 at temperatures of 4°C and 37°CAntigenic relation and lack of relation to other viruses: By CF not related to: All, ACD, AMT, BAH, BDA, BHA, BUN, BEA, CNU, CG, CTF, CON, DEN-1, DGK,.DHO, DUG, GAN, GA, HAZ, HUA, HUG, JA, JOS, KSO, KS, KEM, KTR, LB, LGT, UN, LIP, LS, MWA, MTY, MTR, MAT, ML, NYM, PTH, POW, PER, PS, QYB, QRF, RF, SAK, SFN, SFS, SAW, SIL, SIM, SIN, SOL, THO, TRB, UGS, UPO, UUK, WM, WAN, WN, YF, ZIKA, ZIR, EgArt 4966-63, Cal Ar 846, Ar 1275-64, Q 3255, EgArt 427, EgArt 1475, EgArt 2771, EgArt 3080, EgArt 3051, EgArt 3608, EgArt 3716, EgArt 1169-64, EgArt 1225-64, EgANB 12502, EgANB 13383, and EgANB 1398-61.
