Wind-Blown Mosquitoes and Introduction of Japanese Encephalitis into Australia

Wind-Blown Mosquitoes and Introduction of Japanese Encephalitis into Australia

Backtrack simulation analysis indicates that wind-blown mosquitoes could have traveled from New Guinea to Australia, potentially introducing Japanese encephalitis virus. Large incursions of the virus in 1995 and 1998 were linked with low-pressure systems that sustained strong northerly winds from Ne...
