摘要：Ross River virus (RRV) is the most common mosquito-borne disease notified within Australia and is a significant public health issue for NSW. There have been more than 7500 notifications of RRV in NSW over the past 10 years. Peak seasons occurred in 1996–97 (1547 notified cases) and 2005–06 (1268 notified cases), with an average of 683 notifications for the 11 seasons before this.1 The November 2006 Bug Breakfast topic focussed on RRV and outlined a joint regional approach to mosquito management called ‘Living with Mosquitoes’.
