About Ross River
Ross River virus infection (also called Ross River fever) is a mosquito-borne disease.
The types of mosquitoes that carry Ross River virus and cause outbreaks are found across Australia.
It mainly affects the muscles and joints.
Most people recover within a few days or weeks, but some people have joint pain and tiredness lasting up to a year. It rarely causes serious illness.
