The results obtained are summarized as follows : 1. An overall prevalence of the neutralizing antibodies agaist Ibaraki virus was as high as 68.6% (218 positive reactors amomg 318 heads of dairy cattle). 2. It showed the regional differences with 60.5${\ulcorner}$(46/76) in Koyang, 75.2% (100/133) in Paju and 66.1% (72/109) in Kimpo. 3. It also appeared with a seasonal difference showing 74.4% of prevalence with the mean titer higher than 60 during the mosquito season (from August to November) and 58.6% of prevalence with the mean titer 22 after the mosquito season to March. 4.
