Ten per cent of the horse sera examined contained CF antibody to one or more of the test antigens - indicated considerable arbovirus activity in the two stables. Reactions with flavivirus antigens were most common - the highest antibody titres were obtained with Wesselsbron - Yellow fever viruses. Eleven per cent of the sera tested reacted with alphavirus antigens while 10 per cent were positive for Rift Valley fever virus CF antibodies.
