Virus isolation was attempted from the blood, spleen, liver and kidneys of bats. Nine viruses (1.1%) were isolated so far from 838 bats collected in different places in Japan. Two of the isolates (TOK-1350 and TOK-1362) were isolated from Vespertilio supernas collected in Fukushima Prefecture. They killed suckling mice within 3-5 days after intracerebral inoculation. The remaining 7 isolates were all filtrable through Millipore filters (0.22 .mu.) and were pathogenic for suckling mice but not adults. One of 7 strains (KY-5) was ether resistant and another (TOK-292) was partially ether resistant and both were resistant to sodium deoxycholate (SDC); another (KY-663) was partially resistant to SDC. The sucrose-acetone (SA) antigen of each new isolate did not show hemagglutination (HA) with goose red cells, even after protamine or ultrasonic treatment. Complement fixing (CF) activity was found in 4 of the 7 strains. Both TOK-949 and VS-208 were collected at the same place and probably have the same CF activity. The remaining 5 strains are apparently different. Both YF-17D and Rio Bravo gave high HI [hemagglutination-inhibition] titer with antisera against KY-5, TOK-949, TOK-1280, VS-820 and VeJ-822. They seemed to be flaviviruses although they were distinct from Japanese encephalitis virus (JEF) strains. From 1-10% of bat sera contained antibody against JEV.
