### History of serovar:

The strain was isolated in England in 1977 from human sewage effluent (the liquid portion which after aeration is allowed to drain into the waterways) by the staff of the Microbiol. Dep. of the Inst. for Research in Animal Diseases at Compton-Berkshire (Cinco et al., 1980).
