Looking forward to a great week @WAHealth’s biennial Mosquito Management Course!

Turns out mosquito management is critical in the NT for croc farming! Great to meet Sally, a researcher of Kunjin lesions in crocodiles, at #MMC2019. #FighttheBite @WAHealth

Mosquito warning for the Kimberly: The start of the cyclone season has brought with it the first evidence of MVE virus activity #FighttheBite ww2.health.wa.gov.au/Media-releases…

It’s been a bumper year for MVE activity, detected by @WAHealth’s sentinel chicken program. Media statement released today as activity continues in Kimberley, and extends further into Pilbara #FighttheBite ww2.health.wa.gov.au/Media-releases…

Unseasonal, multiple detections of RRV from Mandurah to Capel in WA’s South West. Hard to know if this is the end of the mossie season or a very early start to the next! #FighttheBite

There is a significant amount of RRV activity in the SW region of WA! Don’t get bitten by mossies if you are heading down that way for the school holidays. #FighttheBite ww2.health.wa.gov.au/Media-releases…

Fantastic regional mosquito management course in Broome! Thanks all for joining us. #FighttheBite

Mosquito-borne disease warning ⚠️ for Kimberley and Pilbara regions following first MVE and KUN detections in sentinel chickens for the season! Mossie numbers are likely to increase following TC Seroja. #FighttheBite ww2.health.wa.gov.au/Media-releases…

March fly bites have caused a number of severe allergic reactions in WA this year! @WAHealth is looking for impacted individuals to complete a survey and for March fly samples to be collected! ww2.health.wa.gov.au/Articles/J_M/M…

Mosquito-borne disease warning for the Kimberley region! MVE and KUN activity has increased significantly.. we also can’t rule out Japanese encephalitis having made it to WA. Now’s the time to avoid mosquito bites if you’re heading north for Easter. ww2.health.wa.gov.au/Media-releases…

Mosquito-borne disease alert: WA reports first human case of Murray Valley encephalitis in Kimberley region since 2018. Unusually prolonged flavivirus season with sentinel chicken seroconversions still continuing! #FighttheBite ww2.health.wa.gov.au/Media-releases…

It’s not an outcome to celebrate, but after a year of some serious surveillance, it’s nice when the team’s hard work provides a result. #JEV has officially made it to WA! #FighttheBite

JEV is now very active in the Kimberley! Sentinel chickens in Wyndham and Kununurra have been infected and confirmed to have antibodies to the virus. #FighttheBite health.wa.gov.au/Media-releases…

A very rapidly evolving situation.. Japanese encephalitis virus activity has now been detected in the Pilbara! If ever there was a year to be extra vigilant about avoiding mossies, this is it! #FighttheBite
