"Mosquitoes are a problem every summer. But the recent arrival of the
mosquito-borne Japanese encephalitis virus in eastern Australia brings more
significant concerns.
There are hundreds of different mosquito species in Australia but only a dozen
or so pose a public health threat. Activity of these mosquitoes shifts from
season to season with differences in rainfall and temperature.
A changing climate and extreme wet weather events can boost mosquito numbers
and bring additional threats.
So how can we reduce the risk of contracting diseases that spread via
mosquitoes, including Japanese encephalitis?"
