An investigation of the seasonal activity of adult mosquitoes and arboviruses in two native forests revealed a mosquito fauna comprising 33 species for the Mogo State Forest-Batemans Bay locality and 34 species for the Termeil State Forest. The mosquito Aedes vigilax was the most abundant species in salt marshes at Mogo State Forest-Batemans Bay, whereas the freshwater species Anopheles annulipes s.l. and Coquillettidia linealis were most abundant at Termeil State Forest. Major faunal differences between the two environments reflected the extensive saline marsh and mudflat estuarine habitats at Batemans Bay and the predominantly freshwater stream, marsh, and lake habitats of Termeil State Forest. A total of 218 virus isolates was recovered from the mosquitoes, comprising Ross River virus (86 isolates), Gan Gan virus (123 isolates), Termeil virus (2 isolates), and 7 unidentified viruses. The period of greatest arbovirus activity was from midsummer through midautumn and coincided with the overall peak activity of the most common mosquito species. Ae. vigilax yielded most isolates of Ross River and Gan Gan viruses and appeared to be the vector of greatest public health concern.
对两片原生森林中成年蚊子和虫媒病毒的季节性活动进行的调查显示，在莫戈州立森林 - 贝特曼斯湾地区发现了33种蚊子，在特尔梅尔州立森林发现了34种蚊子。伊蚊是莫戈州立森林 - 贝特曼斯湾盐沼中数量最多的物种，而淡水物种环纹按蚊复合组和线性库蚊在特尔梅尔州立森林中最为丰富。这两种环境之间的主要动物区系差异反映了贝特曼斯湾广泛的盐沼和泥滩河口栖息地，以及特尔梅尔州立森林主要的淡水溪流、沼泽和湖泊栖息地。从蚊子中总共分离出218株病毒，包括罗斯河病毒（86株）、甘甘病毒（123株）、特尔梅尔病毒（2株）和7种未鉴定病毒。虫媒病毒活动最频繁的时期是从仲夏到中秋，与最常见蚊子种类的总体活动高峰期一致。伊蚊产生了罗斯河病毒和甘甘病毒的大多数分离株，似乎是最受公共卫生关注的传播媒介。
