“…It is of interest to compare these results with a serologic survey performed in Hale County in West Texas during 1965 (19). In that region, Culex tarsalis is the mosquito vector and SLE and WEE viruses are generally considered to be enzootic.…”

School at Dallas, Texas 75235). Recurrent St. Louis encephalitis infection in residents of a flood plain of the Trinity River, Roosevelt Heights (Dallas, Texas). Am J Epidemiol 96: 107-113, 1972.-A serologic survey was conducted among nonwhite persons residing in a circumscribed community (Roosevelt Heights) in Dallas, Texas, situated on a flood plain of the Trinity River. In total, 214 sera were collected. St. Louis encephalitis (SLE) neutralizing antibody was found in 13.6% of the sample and rates revealed a statistically significant trend to increase by length of residence, suggesting that this community had experienced recurrent SLE infection. Western equine encephalitis (WEE) antibody was found in 1.9% of the survey population. The finding of a community with recurrent SLE infection approximately 100 miles west of the towns that had previously been investigated was thought basic to the epidemiologic proof that an interaction did exist between the two established transmission cycles for SLE virus in Texas (SLE, WEE-Cufex tarsalis mosquitoes and SUL-Culex quinquefasciatus mosquitoes).

An enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) test using polyvalent antigens and antisera was used to detect Coxsackie B virus-specific IgM responses in 329 patients admitted to the Coronary Care Unit, Wellington Hospital, New Zealand over a 12-month period. The sera of 30 of 153 (19.6%) patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI), 16 of 98 (18.4%) with chest pain, and 7 of 46 (15.2%) patients with arrhythmia were positive for Coxsackie B virus-specific IgM. Four of 12 (25%) patients with heart failure were also positive. Over the same period, 178 sex- and age-matched normal blood donors were also studied. Eleven of 178 (6.2%) matched blood donors were positive for Coxsackie B virus-specific IgM. The rates of occurrence of Coxsackie B virus-specific IgM in patients with AMI and in a group of matched controls showed a significant difference (chi 2 = 5.64, p = 0.02).
