罗斯河病毒（ rrv ）是传送和蚊子是风土在澳大利亚和巴布亚新几内亚。疾病所造成的rrv ，罗斯河热（也称为疫情多发性关节炎） ，是其中zui常见的法定传染病在澳大利亚（约五〇 〇 〇案件每学年） （ 1 ） 。

RRV is transmitted via mosquitoesfound throughout Australia, particularly on the coast of QueenslandNew South Wales.  The virus may cause epidemic polyarthritis which can be extremely debilitating.  The average case of RRV infection lasts for 3 months, however joint painfatigue can persist for years.  Symptoms may varycan appear from 3 days to 3 weeks after being bitten by an infected mosquito (2). rrv是通过蚊子传播的，发现在澳大利亚全国各地，特别是对海岸的昆士兰和新南威尔士州。病毒可能会导致疫情多发性关节炎，可以非常衰弱。平均案件rrv感染历时三个月，但关节疼痛和疲劳能坚持了多年。症状可能会有所变动，并可以出现从3天到3周后，被咬伤感染的蚊子（ 2 ） 。
 

Almost * of patients produce anti-RRV IgMIgG antibodies within two weeks of disease onset.  Anti-RRV IgG antibody persists for life, while IgM antibody is present for only 10-19 weeks after onset of symptoms in most patients.几乎100 ％的病人产生反rrv IgM及IgG抗体的两个星期内发病。反rrv IgG抗体持续终身，而IgM抗体是目前只有10月19日周后，症状出现在大部分的病人。

The number of Ross River virus (RRV) notifications in Australia has been on the rise since 2002.  Most cases are reported in Queensland, however considerable RRV activity has been observed in Western Australia recently.人数罗斯河病毒（ rrv ）的通知，在澳大利亚一直在增加，自2002年以来，大多数情况下，据报道，在昆士兰州，但相当rrv活动已观察到在西澳大利亚州zui近。
