Abstract
Virus was isolated from the blood of horses (n=5) showing fever and ja undice and was identified as equine encephalosis virus. In cross neutr alisation tests, the isolates were shown to belong to a new serotype r elated to Gamil, one of the 6 known serotypes of equine encephalosis v irus. The name Potchefstroom has been proposed for this new serotype.
