Abstract
Much confusion has been caused by the use of the names “Columbia-SK and M. M. murine strains of poliomyelitis.” Since it has been shown that these viruses bear no antigenic relationship to the strains of poliomyelitis virus employed in this study, and since they are closely related serologically to Mengo and EMC viruses, it is suggested that the words “of poliomyelitis” be dropped from the names. Since EMC virus is indistinguishable from Mengo virus and, as we have pointed out, myocarditis is not a specific lesion characteristic only for this group, the name encephalomyocarditis is also not satisfactory. A common name is indicated for the four viruses of this group.
