Strains of a new flavivirus, for which the name Saumarez Reef Virus is proposed, were isolated from seabird ticks collected from four localities. Two strains were isolated from ticks of the species Ornithodoros capensis Neumann 1901 collected from the nests of Sooty Terns, Sterna fuscata Linnaeus 1766 on coral cays off the east coast of Queensland, Australia. The other three strains were isolated from ticks of the species Ixodes eudyptidis Maskell 1885 taken from two dead Silver Gulls Larus novaehollandiae Stephens 1826 in northern Tasmania. The new virus was compared serologically with 50 other flaviviruses at the Yale Arbovirus Research Unit and was found to be most closely related to Tyuleniy virus.
从四个地点采集的海鸟蜱虫中分离出了一种新型黄病毒毒株，为此提议将其命名为索马雷兹礁病毒。两种毒株是从1901年采集自澳大利亚昆士兰东海岸珊瑚礁上乌黑燕鸥（Sterna fuscata Linnaeus 1766）巢穴中的卡彭斯钝缘蜱（Ornithodoros capensis Neumann）蜱虫中分离出来的。另外三种毒株是从1885年采集自塔斯马尼亚岛北部两只死亡银鸥（Larus novaehollandiae Stephens 1826）身上的艾氏硬蜱（Ixodes eudyptidis Maskell）蜱虫中分离出来的。在耶鲁虫媒病毒研究单位，将这种新病毒与其他50种黄病毒进行了血清学比较，发现它与图列宁伊病毒关系最为密切。
