| Abstract: | Nairobi sheep disease virus has been shown to be identical with or very closely related to Ganjam virus, which has been isolated from ticks and mosquitoes in India. The virus of NSD also shows some serological relationships on complement-fixation with Dugbe virus and certain strains of Congo.Another Kenyan tick-borne virus shares this close serological relationship with NSD. Some relationships, which are not evident on complement-fixation tests, can be demonstrated by fluorescent antibody or indirect haemagglutination tests between NSD and other strains of Congo and Hazara virus. These would seem to be less significant. |
