Several hundred sera were collected from native Filipinos, Negritos, horses and carabao on Luzon, Philippine Islands in an area within 100 miles of Manila. Populations were selected from three different ecological areas. These sera were tested principally by neutralization tests for antibodies to 15 members of the arthropod-borne zoonoses viruses. The viruses involved, because of their many antigenic overlappings, could not all be identified on the basis ef serological response alone. It appears highly probable, however, that Japanese B encephalitis, dengue and Eastern equine encephalitis virus are present, plus at least two others from group B (one of these possibly Ntaya) and at least one other from group A, closely related to Semliki Forest virus if not that virus. As a result of this preliminary survey an expedition was organized to attempt to isolate and thus actually identify the agents present. Testing of these latter materials is still under way.
