Two closely related viruses were isolated from the blood of bovines near Darwin, Northern Territory, Australia. When studies of virus morphology indicated that these were rhabdoviruses, serologic studies were done. These isolates are closely related or identical and are related to, but distinct from, the rabies-related kotonkan virus. Other serologic studies showed that these are two isolates of a newly recognized virus, for which the name Koolpinyah virus is proposed.
