“…Other orbiviruses of the Great Island antigenic complex (Bauline, Great Island, Cape Wrath, Mykines, Tindholmur) have been isolated from I. uriae ticks inhabiting seabird nests (Main et al, 1973;Doherty et al, 1975;Yunker, 1975;Calisher et al, 1988). These viruses occur in both subantarctic and subarctic regions and are obviously dispersed transoceanically and introduced by seabirds to new areas and new avian hosts.…”

The potential for transport and dissemination of certain pathogenic microorganisms by migratory birds is of concern. Migratory birds might be involved in dispersal of microorganisms as their biological carriers, mechanical carriers, or as carriers of infected hematophagous ectoparasites (e.g., ixodid ticks). Many species of microorganisms pathogenic to homeothermic vertebrates including humans have been associated with free-living migratory birds. Migratory birds of diverse species can play significant roles in the ecology and circulation of some arboviruses (e.g., eastern and western equine encephalomyelitis and Sindbis alphaviruses, West Nile and St. Louis encephalitis flaviviruses), influenza A virus, Newcastle disease virus, duck plague herpesvirus, Chlamydophila psittaci, Anaplasma phagocytophilum, Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato, Campylobacter jejuni, Salmonella enterica, Pasteurella multocida, Mycobacterium avium, Candida spp., and avian hematozoans. The efficiency of dispersal of pathogenic microorganisms depends on a wide variety of biotic and abiotic factors affecting the survival of the agent in, or disappearance from, a habitat or ecosystem in a new geographic area.

“…Several patients showed late rises in antibody titre, posing an unexpected possibility of recrudescent infection. An unprecedented geographic distribution in association with abnormal spring and summer rain over the whole continent was compatible with previous snggestions (Burnet, 1968;Doherty, 1974) of virus survival and spread depending on bird-mosquito cycles in shifting populations in northern Australia, liable to opportunistic spread in suitable years to the Murray-Darling basin, east coastal Queensland or central Australia. Other findings, however (the restriction of the early months of the epidemic to its southern limit in the Murray Valley; antibody evidence in pigs and wild birds of MVE infection outside known epidemics; accumulating evidence for southern survival of another togavirus, Ross River virus), suggest the possibility of enzootic survival in the epidemic area itself.…”

“…Kunjin virus, a flavivirus closely related to West Nile virus (Berge, 1975), was previously suggested as a possible cause of disease in man (Doherty, 1974). It was isolated repeatedly from mosquitoes collected early in 1974 in the Murray Valley (Marshall and Woodroofe, 1975) and at Charleville (Doherty et al, 1976b).…”

“…Bovine ephemeral fever. Doherty (1974) summarized Australian experience with epizootics of bovine ephemeral fever in 1936-37, 1955-56 and 1967-68, the adaptation of the virus to mice in the 1967-68 epizootic, its identification as a rhabdovirus, the detection of antibody in cattle with no history of epizootic exposure (suggesting the possibility of its persistence in Australia), and the recognition of more limited epizootics in the period 1970-73. The incidence of bovine ephemeral fever was R. L. Other viruses.…”

“…The syndrome of polyarthralgia and rash known, perhaps misleadingly, as "epidemic polyarthritis", was linked by serological studies with infection by Ross River virus, shown to occur in eastern Australia each summer and autumn, and described (Doherty, 1974) as "a common syndrome in eastern Australia which may well prove an important problem as practitioners become more generally aware of it". More recent events support that statement.…”

Summary The period 1973‐76 saw additions to knowledge of Australian arboviruses in several directions. A large epidemic of Murray Valley encephalitis (MVE) allowed evaluation of serological diagnostic techniques not available in previous major outbreaks, and also added to knowledge of clinical features and epidemiology. Its wide geographical distribution, with cases recognized for the first time in central Australia, suburhan Adelaide and east central Queensland, possibly associated with what has been described as “the most extraordinary set of weather conditions to affect Australia in this century”, triggered new consideration of epidemic prediction and vector control. The recognition of regular summer‐autumn occurrence of epidemic polyarthritis in southern Australia suggested the possibility of year‐round survival of Ross River virus, and perhaps of other togaviruses, in that area. Further evidence was obtained for previous suggestions that Kunjin virus might cause febrile disease of man. Bovine ephemeral fever was repeatedly epizootic and its epidemiology became a major focus of investigation, with accent on possibilities of control by vaccination. Important progress was made in Japan and then in Australia in linking Akabane virus with a disease of domestic animals. The continuation of field programmes in Queensland and Western Australia, and the commencement of new ones in Northern Territory, the Murray Valley of Victoria and elsewhere, led to the discovery of “new” viruses and extended the known host and geographic range of other viruses, adding complexity to the Australian arbovirus pattern. An ambitious programme of serological surveillance of virus infection in sentinel cattle herds covered a wide area of Australia and New Guinea and produced important results which could well be supplemented in other hosts. Progress in this period does not contradict the previous suggestion that complete elucidation of the epidemiology of arboviruses in Australia is a distant goal within the limits of current techniques, but it does suggest that collaboration between units and between disciplines can provide steady and useful progress.
