SUMMARY Neutralizing antibodies to the Innisfail strain of EMC virus were present at significant levels, in one of 337 human sera collected in Queensland, and in one of 48 from Papua. Antibodies were also present, in Queensland, in 22 p.c. of water‐rats, Hydromys chrysogaster in 5–10 p.c. of rats, R...

Description
Summary:SUMMARY Neutralizing antibodies to the Innisfail strain of EMC virus were present at significant levels, in one of 337 human sera collected in Queensland, and in one of 48 from Papua. Antibodies were also present, in Queensland, in 22 p.c. of water‐rats, Hydromys chrysogaster in 5–10 p.c. of rats, Rattus rattus, R. norvegicus, R. sordidus conatus and Melomys lutillus littoralis in 2 p.c. of bandicoots, Isoodon macrourus and in one of 44 horses. A series of mice, cats, dogs and kangaroos examined was negative.
