Mangus

Mangus TRVL/CAREC 137774 1978

The strain was isolated from a mongoose (Herpestes auropunctatus) caught in November 1973 at Chaguaramas, north-west Trinidad and described by Green et al. (1978) as a new serovar named mangus, reference strain TVRL/CAREC 137774, of the Panama group. As the strain still requires confirmation by a RL, it was included in the Revised List (Kmety & Dikken, 1988) under provisional status (+).
Footnotes
+ Provisional status; serovars validly described but not yet confirmed by serological typing results of a Reference (Ref.) Laboratory (Lab.) even as the original description was based on the typing results of a Ref. Lab.
