Résumé de : KOKERNOT (RH), SMITHBURN (KC), DE MEILLON (B) & PATERSON (HE) - 1958 - Isolation of Bunyamwera virus from a naturally infected human being further isolations from Aedes (Bansinekka) circumluteolus THEO. American Journal of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, 7, pp. 579-584.

1. The isolation of a strain of Bunyamwera virus from the blood of a naturally infected human being is described.
2. Following infection there was a significant increase in titer of both neutralizing and hemsgglutination-inhibiting antibodies in tests controIled by the inactivated acute serum from which the virus was isolated.
3. The significance of Bunyamwera virus as a causative agent of disease in humans beings is discussed.
4. Three strains of this virus were isolated from Aedes (Banksinella) circumluteoIus mosquitoes and two of these were from insects collected during the same time period and in the same locality where the human case acquired infection.
5. Evidence is discussed which would indicate that this mosquito species is a potential vector of Bunyamwera virus.
