Abstract

Detection of flavivirus seroconversions in sentinel chicken flocks located throughout Australia is used to provide an early warning of increased levels of Murray Valley encephalitis (MVE) and Kunjin (KUN) virus activity in the region. During the 2002-2003 season low levels of flavivirus activity were detected in northern Australia compared to previous years. MVE and KUN virus activity was detected in the Kimberley and Pilbara regions of Western Australia and the Northern Territory but not in north Queensland, New South Wales or Victoria. This is similar to the previous season. There were no reported cases of disease caused by either virus.

摘要

对分布于澳大利亚各地的哨兵鸡群进行黄病毒血清转化检测，以提供该地区墨累谷脑炎（MVE）和库京（KUN）病毒活动水平升高的早期预警。与前几年相比，在2002 - 2003年期间，澳大利亚北部检测到的黄病毒活动水平较低。在西澳大利亚州和北领地的金伯利和皮尔巴拉地区检测到了MVE和KUN病毒活动，但在昆士兰州北部、新南威尔士州或维多利亚州未检测到。这与上一季情况相似。没有报告由这两种病毒引起的疾病病例。
