Worsfoldi Worsfold 1957

The strain was isolated from a patient in Malaysia and described as a new serovar named worsfoldi (Alexander et al., 1957).
In the Second Report of a Joint WHO/FAO Expert Committee on Zoonoses (1959) the strain is listed as a recognised serovar.
The strain was submitted to factor analysis by Kmety (1977), who on the basis of the results suggested that it should be placed in a subgroup to be named Borincana.
