ABSTRACT
The first reported outbreak of St. Louis encephalitis in Canada occurred in the summer of 1975 in southern Ontario -- in the Windsor-Sarnia-Chatham area, the Niagara region and the city of Toronto. Hemmagglutination inhibition and complement fixation testing of serum samples collected during the outbreak confirmed that St. Louis encephalitis virus was the etiologic agent. Furthermore, this virus was isolated from brain tissue of a patient who died. This outbreak was probably an extension of the outbreak that occurred in the United States that summer. It was the first outbreak of arbovirus encephalitis in the province of Ontario. (AU)
