Abstract
Ross River virus was isolated from two out of four seronegative scrum samples obtained from epidemic polyarthritis patients in Australia. Virus isolated from each patient was found to be phenotypically diverse. These isolations suggest that previous failure to isolate virus from epidemic polyarthritis patients in this country may have been due to failure to obtain material (serum) from patients early enough in the course of the disease and to the use of relatively insensitive isolation techniques.Keywords
