Mucambo virus (BeAn 8), previously described as a strain
of Venezuelan Equine Encephalomyelitis (VEE) virus from the Amazon
region of Brazil, can be differentiated from VEE virus by
hemagglutination-inhibition, complement-fixation and neutralization
testing. Ipixuna virus, a hitherto undescribed agent isolated in the same
region of Brazil in 1961, is related to both VEE and Mucambo, and the
three viruses form an antigenic complex in arbovirus group A. VEE and
Mucambo are more closely related to each other by all three tests than
either is to Pixuna.
A horse inoculated with Mucambo virus developed fever,
leukopenia and viremia. Inoculation of Pixuna virus in another horse
failed to produce fever or circulating virus, and the horse did not develop
viremia after challenge with Mucambo. |
