Containment requirements will vary based on virus concentration, animal species, or virus type. See the Hantanvirus agent summary statement in<br />

the viral agent chapter.<br />

Tentative placement in the genus.<br />

These organisms are considered pathogens of significant agricultural importance by the USDA (See Appendix D) and may require additional<br />

containment (up to and including BSL-3-Ag containment). Not all strains of each organism are necessarily of concern to the USDA. Contact USDA<br />

for more information regarding exact containment/permit requirements before initiating work.<br />

Alternate name for Ganjam virus.<br />

Garissa virus is considered an isolate of this virus, so same containment requirements apply.<br />

Antigenic groups designated A, B, and C refer to the original comprehensive and unifying serogroups established by Casals, Brown, and Whitman<br />

based on cross-reactivity among known arboviruses (2,21). Group A viruses are members of the genus Alphavirus, group B belong to the family<br />

Flaviviridae, and Group C viruses are members of the family Bunyaviridae.<br />
