Nonspecific inhibitors of Western and Venezuelan equine encephalitis viruses were found in cattle sera by plaque-reduction neutralization (N) tests in avian cell cultures and by haemagglutination-inhibition (HI) tests. No inhimitors were detected in sera from Hawaiian goats, pigs and 98% of the sheep tested between 1964-1966. Specific HI and N, but not complement-fixing, antibodies, developed in the serum of one cow sequentially inoculated with Sagiyama, Western and Eastern equine encephalomyelitis viruses of group A.
