Abstract
ABSTRACT
The Northern Territory sentinel chicken program has transitioned to qPCR testing of mosquitoes for flavivirus surveillance. In 2024, the new program has detected MVE virus activity on several occasions during the high-risk period for MVE, with several public health alerts issued to warn the public of the potential MVE risk. No human MVE cases were reported in the NT in 2024.
