Isolation of Arboviruses (Kemerovo Group, Sakhalin Group) from Ixodes Uriae Collected at Macquarie Island, Southern Ocean*

R. L. Doherty, J. G. Carley, M. D. Murray, Andrew J. Main, Jr., B. H. Kay AND R. Domrow
Queensland Institute of Medical Research, Brisbane, Queensland, 4006, Australia, CSIRO Division of Animal Health, McMaster Laboratory, Sydney, New South Wales, 2037, Australia, and Yale Arbovirus Research Unit, Yale University School of Medicine, New Haven, Connecticut 06510

Eighty-nine pools of ticks (Ixodes [Ceratixodes] uriae White) collected at Macquarie Island (54° 30'S, 159°E) in the Southern Ocean yielded 16 strains of 2 viruses, 1 a "new" member of the Kemerovo group and 1 a "new" member of the Sakhalin group. The names "Nugget" and "Taggert" are proposed for them. Antigenically-related viruses have therefore now been isolated from I. uriae in both subarctic and subantarctic regions.

Accepted for publication September 20, 1974.
