01

Overview

Ross River virus (RRV) is a mosquito-borne alphavirus that causes Ross River fever, also known as epidemic polyarthritis. It is endemic to Australia, Papua New Guinea, and several South Pacific islands. Symptoms typically include swollen or painful joints, fever, rash, fatigue, and muscle aches. Diagnosis relies on blood tests detecting RRV-specific antibodies. There are no specific antiviral treatments or vaccines available; treatment is supportive.
