### History of serovar:

The strain was isolated in 1967 from an American marine participating in operations in the Camlo area of South Vietnam and was described by Che-Chung Tsai (1971) as a new serovar of the Pyrogenes group named camlo ,ref. strain LT 64-67. Discrepant typing results have been recently reported. Therefore the serovar is marked ++ in the Revised List of 1988 (Kmety, Dikken, 1988) and in the attached updated list.
