Implication
Groups EMCV strains as one entity; leaves open their differentiation from poliomyelitis in animal models.
Structured PICO
P
Population
Virus strains: encephalomyocarditis, Columbia-SK, M. M., and Mengo encephalomyelitis, as well as Lansing, Yale-SK and Brunhilde strains of poliomyelitis and a murine encephalomyelitis virus
I
Intervention
Neutralization, complement-fixation, and cross-immunity tests
O
Outcome
Identity and relationship between virus strains
This study establishes that encephalomyocarditis, Columbia-SK, M. M., and Mengo encephalomyelitis viruses are likely different strains of a single virus.
