Imphal, Aug 19: The five member team of National Institute of Communicable Diseases (NICD) New Delhi has collected 13 blood samples from infected persons in their attempt to unravel the mystery disease which had claimed 12 in Bishnupur district.

The team also collected furs of domestic animals like cats, dogs and even mouse to verify whether they act as vector of the disease for further communication to human beings or they themselves are infected, said Dr Biren.

Some of the blood samples have been taken to National Institute of Virology, Pune today for a thorough examination there by the noted virologist Dr Joshi, informed Dr Biren.

He mentioned that the remaining samples would be taken to NICD, New Delhi by the four other team members tomorrow.
