| antigenically distinct strains of ross river virus from north queensland and coastal new south wales. | ross river virus strains recovered from north queensland and the central coast of new south wales can be clearly discriminated by the use of a short incubation haemagglutination inhibition test. antigenic homology of strains within these regions and heterology between the regions seem unaffected by time, passage history, adaptation to laboratory mice and the nature of the original source material yielding the strains. it is concluded that the two antigenic types are enzootic to their respective ... | 1977 | 71141 |
| vectors vs. humans in australia--who is on top down under? an update on vector-borne disease and research on vectors in australia. | australia has a diversity of vectors and vector-borne human diseases. mosquito-borne arboviruses are of greatest concern, but there are issues with other vector and pathogen systems. mosquitoes were responsible for more than 35,000 cases of ross river virus during 1991-1997. barmah forest virus is increasing nationwide, and unidentified bunyaviruses suspected of causing illness have been isolated. cases of murray valley encephalitis have occurred in 14 of the past 20 years in northern australia. ... | 1998 | 9673928 |

| environmental drivers of ross river virus in southeastern tasmania, australia: towards strengthening public health interventions. | summaryin australia, ross river virus (rrv) is predominantly identified and managed through passive health surveillance. here, the proactive use of environmental datasets to improve community-scale public health interventions in southeastern tasmania is explored. known environmental drivers (temperature, rainfall, tide) of the rrv vector aedes camptorhynchus are analysed against cumulative case records for five adjacent local government areas (lgas) from 1993 to 2009. allowing for a 0- to 3-mont ... | 2011 | 21439102 |
| ross river virus and its vectors in sorell municipal area, south-eastern tasmania, january to march 2002. | in 2002, tasmania reported the largest number of ross river virus (rrv) infections ever recorded for the state. of the 117 cases, 37 lived in, or had visited, the sorell municipal area, east of hobart. in early 2002, a combination of spring tides and high summer rainfall produced extensive salt marsh habitat in the sorell region, resulting in unseasonably high densities of the mosquito ochlerotatus camptorhynchus, recognised vector of rrv. four isolates of rrv were identified from collections of ... | 2004 | 15460967 |
