Waskurin

Waskurin LT 63-68 1971

The strain was isolated in 1967 from a bandicoot (Echimipera kalabu) in New Guinea and was published as a new serovar of the Javanica or Celledoni group named waskurin, reference strain LT 63-68 (Morahan, 1971). In a letter of 1973 to the TSC, Babudieri stated the strain's close affinity to Sarmin and suggested that it should be placed in the Icterohaemorrhagiae group. In Dikken and Kmety's publication of 1978 the strain is listed as a member of the Sarmin subgroup.
At the time of the TSC meeting in Manchester (1986) its serovar status had not yet been confirmed by a RL. It was therefore included in the Revised List (1988) under provisional status (+)(Kmety & Dikken, 1988). Later its serovar status was confirmed by a RL and therefore it was recognized by the TSC (Osaka, 1990) and is placed in the attached updated list unconditionally within the Sarmin group.
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.
