| Resumen |
The staff of the Indian National Institute of Virology was studied. Since the Institute was established in 1952, there have been 87 cases of infection with Kyasanur forest disease (KFD), 3 with Chikungunya, 7 with Ganjam and 1 with West Nile viruses. 64 of the KFD infections were in laboratory workers, 23 in field workers collecting insects. Infections were similar to natural cases, but there were no deaths in laboratory personnel. Vaccination with formolised KFD vaccine in 1966 seemed to reduce the incidence of infection in laboratory workers. The main mode of infection was via aerosols. |
