Abstract
Yellow fever virus was isolated and re-isolated in mice from the serum and cerebral fluid of a patient who died in central Uganda in May 1964. Provisional identification was made within 48 hours of the first mice sickening, by the use of the haemagglutination-inhibition test. This was confirmed by a later reciprocal cross-neutralization test with the French neurotropic strain of yellow fever virus, and by the typical histological appearances of the liver of a rhesus monkey, destroyed when febrile after inoculation with infected mouse brains.Keywords
