Infectious Diseases, NSW: June 2000

Abstract

Notifications of infectious diseases to the end of April 2000 were in line with seasonal expectations (Figure 7, Table 3). Notably, the late summer peak in arbovirus disease notifications (largely due to 247 Ross River virus infections, and 48 Barmah Forest virus infections in the three-month period to the end of April) was smaller than in most recent years.
