171,348 mosquitoes and 4,353 other arthropods collected at three centres in Queensland in 1972-1976 yielded 151 strains of 18 viruses. Culex annulirostris was the major source of virus isolation but 42 strains from Aedes normanensis indicate it to be a vector of importance. Ross River and Kokobera viruses were isolated at Kowanyama in the dry season, a finding of interest as being compatible with year-round survival in vector-vertebrate cycles. Culex fatigans has in part replaced Culex annulirostris in peridomestic breeding sites at Kowanyama; the infrequency of virus isolation from it suggests that this replacement may lower arbovirus infection rates. Twelve strains were identified as viruses antigenically distinct from any previously isolated in Australia or New Guinea: Ch16129, showed by the International Reference Centre for Arboviruses to be a previously undescribed member of the Simbu Group (Facey's Paddock virus), Ch16313 (Murweh), Ch19520 (Parker's Farm) and Ch19546 (little Sussex). The remaining strains were identified as viruses previously known in Australia, but included many new host or geographical records.
1972年至1976年在昆士兰州三个中心采集的171,348只蚊子和4,353只其他节肢动物分离出了18种病毒的151个毒株。环喙库蚊是病毒分离的主要来源，但从诺曼伊蚊分离出的42个毒株表明它也是一种重要的传播媒介。在旱季，罗斯河病毒和科科贝拉病毒在科瓦尼亚马被分离出来，这一发现很有意思，因为这与病毒在媒介-脊椎动物循环中的全年存活情况相符。致倦库蚊在科瓦尼亚马的家庭周边繁殖地部分取代了环喙库蚊；从致倦库蚊中很少分离出病毒，这表明这种取代可能会降低虫媒病毒感染率。有12个毒株被鉴定为与之前在澳大利亚或新几内亚分离出的任何病毒在抗原性上都不同的病毒：Ch16129，被虫媒病毒国际参考中心鉴定为辛布病毒属中一个之前未描述过的成员（费西牧场病毒），Ch16313（默韦），Ch19520（帕克农场）和Ch19546（小苏塞克斯）。其余的毒株被鉴定为澳大利亚之前已知的病毒，但包括许多新的宿主或地理记录。
