Infectious diseases - June 1997

Abstract

Unseasonably high numbers of Ross River virus infection were reported with onset in April. This end-of-season surge is likely to be due to increased mosquito activity brought about by late summer rains around the mid NSW coast (stretching from the Hunter though to the Illawarra).
