TY - JOUR AU - Ritchie, Scott AU - Rochester, Wayne T1 - Wind-Blown Mosquitoes and Introduction of Japanese Encephalitis into Australia T2 - Emerging Infectious Disease journal PY - 2001 VL - 7 IS - 5 SP - 900 SN - 1080-6059 AB - 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 New Guinea to the Cape York Peninsula.
