Surveillance and monitoring annual reports

Summary

The NSW Arbovirus Surveillance and Mosquito Monitoring Program (ASMMP) provides early warnings of arboviral risks in NSW during the peak season from November to April.

The program monitors:

sentinel chickens in inland areas for antibodies to viruses like Murray Valley encephalitis (MVEV), Kunjin (KUNV), and Japanese encephalitis (JEV).
mosquitoes across NSW for viruses including Ross River virus (RRV) and Barmah Forest virus (BFV).

The latest report summarises mosquito trapping and sentinel chicken results in NSW for the 2023-2024 arbovirus season. It also provides a high level summary of human arbovirus notifications in NSW.
