Isolation from Man in Slovenia of a Virus belonging to the California Complex of Arthropod-borne Viruses

Nature volume 197, page 1131 (1963)Cite this article

Abstract

FOLLOWING observations1 that in some areas of Slovenia, Yugoslavia, inapparent infections with Central European tick-borne encephalitis virus are common, attempts were made to isolate this agent from clinically inapparent but serologically detectable infections. In the course of this work two strains of another arthropod-borne virus were obtained. Designated Trojica Nos. 1 and 2 after the village where they occurred, these strains have now been identified as belonging to the California complex2 of arthropod-borne viruses.
