Isolation of a Virus from an Acute Encephalitis Case in Peiping

Chun-hui Yen

Abstract

A virus (Peiping encephalitis virus) capable of producing encephalitis in Swiss mice and a monkey was isolated from a case of acute encephalitis. On the basis of animal pathogenicity and virus neutralization tests, the virus is considered to behave like the Japanese type B virus, but to be serologically distinguishable from the St. Louis encephalitis virus.
