Kamituga

Kamituga Kamituga 1939

The strain was isolated in 1939 from a sick field worker in Kivu, Zaire (former Belgian Congo) by van Riel (van den Berghe, van Riel,1939). In van Riel's paper (1946) the strain was differentiated by absorption tests from many other strains. The serovar represented by strain Kamituga first appears in the list of serovars of 1965 (WHO, 1965) under provisional status, but in the list of 1967 (WHO,1967) it is a recognized serovar.
The strain was submitted to factor analysis and it was suggested that it should be placed in the subgroup Canicola (Kmety, 1967).
