Popis:	Kao Shuan virus, a member of the Dera Ghazi Khan serogroup, was recovered from nymphal Argas robertsi Hoogstraal, Kaiser, and Kohls ticks collected in a night heron (Nycticorax nycticorax (L.)) rookery in the Kao Shuan area of Taiwan. This virus is related to, but distinct from, other members of the serogroup by complement-fixation and neutralization tests. It forms an antigenic complex with Pathum Thani, a virus isolated from A. robertsi in Thailand and Sri Lanka. Two additional strains of Kao Shuan virus were isolated from A. robertsi nymphs collected as larvae from a colony of little egrets (Egretta garzetta (L.)) in West Java, Indonesia. These strains are identical to Kao Shuan virus by complement-fixation tests, although slight differences were detected by neutralization tests.
