In 2002 three separate outbreaks of dengue were detected in north Queensland, including the first documented outbreak of dengue 4 in Australia. Molecular analyses identified Thailand and Indonesia as the likely origin of two of the outbreaks. Investigations during 2002 also included a suspected dengue outbreak in the Torres Strait which proved to be a false alarm, and a number of imported cases of dengue in north Queensland.
2002年，昆士兰州北部发现了三起独立的登革热疫情，其中包括澳大利亚有记录以来的首例登革热4型疫情。分子分析确定泰国和印度尼西亚为其中两起疫情的可能源头。2002年开展的调查还包括托雷斯海峡的一起疑似登革热疫情（后来证明是虚惊一场）以及昆士兰州北部的一些登革热输入病例。
