Medical Entomology 2016/2017 Annual Report Environmental Health Hazards Unit Environmental Health Directorate Public Health Division Department of Health, Western Australia PO Box 8172, Perth Business Centre Perth, 6849 Acknowledgements The extensive and diverse work program undertaken by the Department of Health’s Medical Entomology team outlined in this Annual Report could not have been completed without significant assistance and collaboration from many partners and stakeholders. In particular, the Medical Entomology team wishes to thank the Department of Health for its ongoing support in regards to this important public health program including: o the Environmental Health Directorate; o the Communicable Disease Control Directorate; o Population Health Units/Area Health Services o PathWest; and o Communications Directorate. The Pathwest laboratory continued to have a significant involvement in the program through provision of laboratory services for key components of the surveillance program for detection of arboviruses of public health significance to the State. We also acknowledge and thank the Population Health Units and the Western Australian Country Health Service for their role in reporting and follow-up of human cases of disease, and especially the role of Local Governments in the management of mosquitoes and the diseases they transmit. These organisations play an active role in the provision of data, case follow up investigations, care and bleeding of chickens for the sentinel chicken program, trapping of mosquitoes, mosquito control treatments and advice to the Western Australian community about disease risk through the media. In particular we thank Environmental Health Officers from the 139 Local Governments across WA, especially those within Contiguous Local Authority Groups (CLAGs), who respond to public complaints, undertake larval and adult mosquito surveys, and undertake mosquito control activities as part of their complex, integrated programs to manage the risks to public health and amenity within their regions. -

ARTHROPODA Subphylum Hexapoda Protura, Springtails, Diplura, and Insects

TREWICK defining feature of the Hexapoda, as the name suggests, is six legs. Also, the body comprises a head, thorax, and abdomen. The number A of abdominal segments varies, however; there are only six in the Collembola (springtails), 9–12 in the Protura, and 10 in the Diplura, whereas in all other hexapods there are strictly 11. Insects are now regarded as comprising only those hexapods with 11 abdominal segments. Whereas crustaceans are the dominant group of arthropods in the sea, hexapods prevail on land, in numbers and biomass. Altogether, the Hexapoda constitutes the most diverse group of animals – the estimated number of described species worldwide is just over 900,000, with the beetles (order Coleoptera) comprising more than a third of these. Today, the Hexapoda is considered to contain four classes – the Insecta, and the Protura, Collembola, and Diplura. The latter three classes were formerly allied with the insect orders Archaeognatha (jumping bristletails) and Thysanura (silverfish) as the insect subclass Apterygota (‘wingless’). The Apterygota is now regarded as an artificial assemblage (Bitsch & Bitsch 2000). -

Australia, houses a number of endemic mosquito-borne viruses, such as Ross River virus, Barmah Forest virus, and Murray Valley encephalitis virus. In this review, we synthesize the current state of mosquito-borne viruses impacting non-human vertebrates in Australia, including diseases that could be introduced due to local mosquito distribution. Given the unique island biogeography of Australia and the endemism of vertebrate species (including macropods and monotremes), Australia is highly susceptible to foreign mosquito species becoming established, and mosquito-borne viruses becoming endemic alongside novel reservoirs. For each virus, we summarize the known geographic distribution, mosquito vectors, vertebrate hosts, clinical signs and treatments, and highlight the importance of including non-human vertebrates in the assessment of future disease outbreaks. The mosquito-borne viruses discussed can impact wildlife, livestock, and companion animals, causing significant changes to Australian Citation: Ong, O.T.W.; Skinner, E.B.; ecology and economy. -

Pan American Health Organization PAHO/ACMR 14/2 Original: English FOURTEENTH MEETING OF THE ADVISORY COMMITTEE ON MEDICAL RESEARCH Washington, D.C. 7-10 July 1975 ECOLOGY OF ARBOVIRUSES AND THEIR DISEASES IN FRENCH GUIANA The issue of this document does not constitute formal publication. It should not be reviewed, abstracted, or quoted without the consent of the Pan American Health Organization. The authors alone are responsible for statements expressed in signed papers. ECOLOGY OF ARBOVIRUSES AND THEIR DISEASES IN FRENCH GUIANA Approaching the study of the Arbovirus in French Guiana we tried to make manifest the ecological foci, where by the only fact of the presence at the same time of virus reservoirs and of a population of vectors particularly abondant we had some chance of isolating some arbovirus which can cause a disease to man. In order to identify these ecological foci we had to do a certain number of serological investigation trying to use man as a revelator of this arbovirus circu- lation. The serological investigation were executed first by using a series of antigen chosen because they have been isolated before in French Guiana - for the A group, Mucambo and Pixuna virus. - for the B group, Yellow fever virus, St-Louis, Dengue II and Dengue III. After the isolation of two virus : one, seeming new, belonging to the Venezuelan Encephalitis group, the other belonging to group B and recognized as similar to Ilheus, we have also included them in the series of antigens. Military coming from different territories and in particular from Martinica and Guadaloupe seemed to us to be excellent sentinel.
