In 1927 and 1928 an extensive epidemic of dengue occurred in Greece. About one million people were affected. THEILER et al. (1960) showed by a retrospective serological study that this epidemic was probably due to dengue-1 virus. The present study was undertaken to find out what other arbovirus (arthropod-borne virus) infections have been occurring in Greece. To eliminate the effect of cross reactions with group B viruses due to residual dengue-1 antibody, sera from persons born before and after 1928 were contrasted.
