a

Serial propagation by inoculation in mosquitoes unsuccessfully attempted with Modoc and bat salivary gland viruses. There are at least 6 additional viruses in antigenic group B which may be togaviruses for which there is no proof of transmission by arthropods in nature nor recorded attempts to serial passage in the laboratory.

b

Likely to be a togavirus; however, no categorical statement on its symmetry available.

c

No evidence that it is arthropod-borne; possibly a togavirus but there is no knowledge on its symmetry.
