Viruses isolated during 1979 and 1980 from patients with polyarthritis in New Caledonia and Wallis and Futuna Islands have been found to be more closely related to Ross River virus than any other regional Alphavirus. On the basis of virulence in suckling mice the majority of these isolates were found to be more closely related to the NB5092 strain of Ross River virus than to the prototype T48 strain.
1979年至1980年间,在新喀里多尼亚、瓦利斯和富图纳群岛从患多关节炎的患者身上分离出的病毒,被发现与罗斯河病毒的关系比任何其他地区的甲病毒都更为密切。根据对乳鼠的毒力,发现这些分离株中的大多数与罗斯河病毒的NB5092株的关系比与原型T48株的关系更为密切。
