Abstract
An epidemic of St. Louis encephalitis (SLE), involving at least 14 human cases, occurred in Danville, Kentucky in early autumn, 1964. Thirty-five of 241 wild birds tested and 37 of 122 chickens had SLE antibiodes. Three isolations of SLE virus were made from Culex pipiens pipiens Linnaeus, the apparent vector. In addition, this species also yielded 2 isolations of a Flanders-related virus.This publication has 6 references indexed in Scilit:
