摘要：Ross River virus (RRV) and Barmah Forest virus (BFV) infections are the two most prevalent mosquito-borne diseases in Australia. Prevention through vector control and public awareness is important to lessen their burden on public health, as there are no treatments or vaccines currently available. In many geographical areas there are clear relationships between climatic variables and RRV or BFV disease incidence, 1–5 creating the potential for climate-based early warning systems. Such systems could be used to guide mosquito control activities. However, early warning system accuracy and adequate intervention is unlikely to entirely counteract increased disease activity. For this reason, early detection of increased RRV and BFV activity is important.
