Disease Incident Reports
This section of the
site contains brief, summary information on selected disease events occurring
around Australia. Detailed information is available in the Wildlife Health
Information System (WHIS and eWHIS - see "About Us"). (SITREPS, or Situation
reports, are also produced and distributed to subscribers for significant
events.) If you would like access to these data, contact us at
awhn@zoo.nsw.gov.au.
This section also includes requests for information on diseases with wildlife
as part of their ecology, which we need to know more about (see also "Bulletin
Board").
AWHN is currently (April 2009) receiving a larger number than usual of Australian bat lyssavirus (ABLV) positive results from NSW and QLD. If you are bitten or scratched by a bat, please contact your local department of health for advise. We would encourage submission of bats for testing if it is safe to do so. More information and guidelines on ABLV can be found below.
