An ELISA system was used to determine the rate of seropositivity to lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus (LCMV) among a random sample of 505 Nova Scotians. Twenty (4%) were positive. Complete questionnaire data were available on all 20 seropositive subjects and on 449 seronegative subjects. Seventeen (85%) of the seropositive subjects were females (P = 0.03). It is concluded that infection with LCMV is present in Nova Scotia and females are more likely to be infected than males.
采用酶联免疫吸附测定（ELISA）系统，对505名新斯科舍省居民的随机样本进行检测，以确定淋巴细胞性脉络丛脑膜炎病毒（LCMV）的血清阳性率。其中20人（4%）呈阳性。所有20名血清阳性受试者以及449名血清阴性受试者均有完整的问卷数据。血清阳性受试者中有17名（85%）为女性（P = 0.03）。研究得出结论，新斯科舍省存在LCMV感染，且女性比男性更易感染。
