Summary:The name reovirus is sigla, short for "respiratory enteric orphan," because these viruses are found in both the respiratory and enteric tracts of man but in general are "orphans" in the sense that they have not been associated with human disease. However, in 1973 a new reovirus was discovered which is in fast the major etiologieal agent of infantile enteritis. The genus Reovirus contains 3 mammalian serotypes which share a cammon CF antigen but are distinguishable by neutralization or HI tests. Reovirus was isolated for the first time in Korea and summary of the results are as follows: 1. Four strains of unknown virus were isolated from spleen and lymphnodes of Apodemus agrarius coreae and Microlus fortis pelliceus collected in the endemic foci of Korean hemorrhagic fever. 2. Chemieo-biologie properties of the isolated virus were; a) hemagglutination was occurred with only human red blood cells b) optimum pH for hemagglutination was 7.6 c) the nucleic acid of the virus component was RNA and d) it was insensitive to chloroform. 3. The viruses were identified as Reovirus type 2 by hemagglutination inhibition and tissue culture neutralization test using standard antisera of Reovirus type 1, 2 and 3. It was concluded that Reovirus type 2 was isolateu from rodent tissues for the first time in Korea.
