Abstract

A strain of LEIV 65A virus was isolated in 1969 from Culex modestus mosquitoes collected in the Kyzylagach preserve, the Azerbaijan SSR, in a colony of Ciconiiformes birds. Investigations of the antigenic properties of this virus by the complement fixation and neutralization tests as well as by electron microscopy showed it to belong to alphaviruses of the Togaviridae family. Kyzylagach virus had one-way relations with Sindbis virus. Some biological and biophysical-biochemical properties of the virus were studied.
