| evidence of vertical transmission of ross river and sindbis viruses (togaviridae: alphavirus) by mosquitoes (diptera: culicidae) in southeastern australia. | ross river and sindbis viruses were isolated from aedes camptorhynchus adults reared from immatures collected from a salt marsh in coastal victoria, indicating the existence of field vertical transmission. these first isolations of an arbovirus from adult mosquitoes reared from field-collected immatures in australia indicates one mechanism for arbovirus maintenance in temperate regions. | 1996 | 8906927 |
| australia's notifiable diseases status, 2001: annual report of the national notifiable diseases surveillance system. | in 2001 there were 104,187 notifications of communicable diseases in australia reported to the national notifiable diseases surveillance system (nndss). the number of notifications in 2001 was an increase of 16 per cent of those reported in 2000 (89,740) and the largest annual total since the nndss commenced in 1991. in 2001, nine new diseases were added to the list of diseases reported to nndss and four diseases were removed. the new diseases were cryptosporidiosis, laboratory-confirmed influen ... | 2003 | 12725505 |
| production of pro-inflammatory cytokines correlates with the symptoms of acute sickness behaviour in humans. | elaboration of the concept of cytokine-induced sickness behaviour in recent years has opened new avenues for understanding brain involvement in sickness and recovery processes. additionally, this has led to much speculation about the role of the immune system in neuropsychiatric syndromes, including depression and chronic fatigue. however, few studies have examined this phenomenon as it naturally occurs in sick humans, and none has attempted to document the quantitative relationships between cyt ... | 2004 | 15697055 |

| an outbreak of barmah forest virus disease in victoria. | this report describes the epidemiological and clinical features of an outbreak of 47 cases of laboratory-confirmed barmah forest virus disease (bf disease) that occurred in victoria between january and may 2002. laboratory-confirmed cases were investigated, and information on travel history and clinical details was collected. surveillance data from adult mosquito trappings and climatic conditions in the wellington shire were also reviewed. the response rate for interviews was 85 per cent (40/47) ... | 2002 | 12549534 |

| vector competence of culex pipiens quinquefasciatus for murray valley encephalitis, kunjin, and ross river viruses from australia. | australian populations of culex pipiens quinquefasciatus say from brisbane, charleville, cairns, kowanyama (queensland), darwin (northern territory), mildura (victoria), and port hedland (western australia) proved to be either poorly susceptible or refractory to oral infection with low passage level murray valley encephalitis, kunjin, and ross river viruses. with respect to past or future epidemics of murray valley encephalitis or kunjin (both known to cause clinical encephalitis in man), and of ... | 1982 | 6285750 |
| predictive modelling of ross river virus notifications in southeastern australia. | ross river virus (rrv) is a mosquito-borne virus endemic to australia. the disease, marked by arthritis, myalgia and rash, has a complex epidemiology involving several mosquito species and wildlife reservoirs. outbreak years coincide with climatic conditions conducive to mosquito population growth. we developed regression models for human rrv notifications in the mildura local government area, victoria, australia with the objective of increasing understanding of the relationships in this complex ... | 2017 | 27866492 |
| disease suspected to be caused by ross river virus infection of horses. | ross river virus (rrv) was believed to be the cause of acute illness in four horses around the bellarine peninsula in south-west victoria, australia. the horses presented with clinical signs including petechial haemorrhages, lymphadenopathy, distal limb swelling and reluctance to move. fibrinogen was also elevated in three of the four horses. whilst no virus was isolated, serological testing revealed elevated rrv igm titres in all horses indicating acute infection. the outbreak occurred at a tim ... | 2008 | 18782422 |
| house mouse abundance and ross river virus notifications in victoria, australia. | the number of emerging and re-emerging infectious diseases is increasing. as such, understanding the fundamental ecology of infectious disease is critical. short-lived highly fecund amplification hosts are implicated to influence disease prevalence, but few empirical examples exist. we examined the relationship between mouse (mus musculus) abundance and ross river virus (rrv) incidence in northwest victoria, australia. | 2008 | 18468469 |
| arbovirus infections of humans in high-risk areas of south-eastern australia: a continuing study. | to determine the current immune status of high-risk populations of new south wales and victoria to the arboviral pathogens, murray valley encephalitis (mve) and kunjin (kun) viruses, which are associated with australian encephalitis (ae), and ross river (rr) and kokobera (kok) viruses which are associated with polyarthritis. further, to estimate seroconversion rates to these viruses in high-risk populations over the 10-year period 1981-1991. | 1993 | 8393128 |
