arboviruses causing human disease in the australasian zoogeographic region.over 65 arboviruses have been reported from countries in the australasian zoogeographic region, but only a few have been implicated in human disease. these include the flaviviruses murray valley encephalitis (mve), kunjin (kun), kokobera (kok), and dengue, particularly types 1 and 2; the alphaviruses ross river (rr), barmah forest (bf), and sindbis (sin); and the bunyaviruses, gan gan and trubanaman. in this paper recent epidemiological and clinical results pertaining to these viruses are review ...19948031248
arbovirus infection in humans in nsw: seroprevalence and pathogenicity of certain australian bunyaviruses.a sero epidemiological study was carried out on human sera from all regions of new south wales for the presence of antibodies to nine bunyaviruses viz aino, akabane, belmont, gan gan, kowanyama, mapputta, peaton, tinaroo, trubanaman and the orbivirus corriparta. neutralising antibodies were found in titres up to 1280 to gan gan and to 640 to trubanaman viruses, prevalences 4.7% and 1.4% respectively. neutralisation titres up to 40 were found to belmont, aino, peaton and corriparta viruses but th ...19902108660
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. ...19989673928
viruses recovered from mosquitoes and wildlife serum collected in the murray valley of south-eastern australia, february 1974, during an epidemic of encephalitis.pools of mosquitoes collected in the murray valley in february, 1974, during an encephalitis epidemic yielded 239 isolates of 11 distinct viruses. these included 39 isolates of mve virus, an incriminated causative agent of encephalitis in man, and 111 isolates of kunjin virus, a probable causative agent. an additional isolate of mve virus was recovered from the serum of a white-faced heron, ardea novaehollandiae. the other 9 viruses comprised the alpha-viruses ross river and sindbis, the flavivi ...19826299258
