Summary

An account of the isolation of five Swedish virus strains belonging to the Russian Spring-Summer — Louping ill group is given. Four strains originated from ticks collected northeast of Stockholm, the fifth one from the acute phase serum of a case,of meningoencephalitis. Four of the five strains recovered in mice could also be isolated in cultures of Detroit-6 cells. A presumptive identification of the strains was performed by CF tests. The relationship of the strains to other viruses of the RSSE-LI group was shown in neutralization tests in mice and in tissue culture.
