Ross River virus was isolated from two out of four seronegative serum samples obtained from epidemic polyarthritis patients in Australia. Virus isolated from each patient was found to be phenotypically diverse. These isolations suggest that previous failure to isolate virus from epidemic polyarthritis patients in this country may have been due to failure to obtain material (serum) from patients early enough in the course of the disease and to the use of relatively insensitive isolation techniques.
从澳大利亚流行性多关节炎患者的四份血清阴性样本中,有两份分离出罗斯河病毒。从每位患者身上分离出的病毒在表型上各不相同。这些分离结果表明,该国此前未能从流行性多关节炎患者身上分离出病毒,可能是由于在疾病进程中未尽早从患者身上获取样本(血清),以及使用了相对不敏感的分离技术。
