Mosquito risk area

Ross River virus is quite common to some parts of Australia and was named following the isolation of an arbovirus from mosquitoes trapped beside Ross River near Townsville in Queensland.

Studies have shown that between 20% and 60% victims of the Ross River virus experience fever and arthritic symptoms. These may be joint pains and the appearance of a rash.

Patients can typically expect to recover within a month after the onset of these symptoms.

Use a good quality insect repellant and wear long sleeve shirts to minimise the risk of mosquito bites.
