Safety Alert - Japanese encephalitis (JE) virus

Recent monitoring by the Department of Health has detected evidence of Japanese encephalitis (JE) virus circulating in northern Victoria.

JE virus is spread by mosquitos to humans through bites from infected mosquitos and can cause a rare but potentially serious infection of the brain. The Department of Health advise that residents and people visiting northern Victoria – particularly inland riverine regions and near the Murray River – are at risk.

Taking steps to avoid being bitten is a critical step to protect against mosquito-borne disease. There are simple steps to protect against mosquito-borne diseases:
• Cover up – wear long, loose-fitting clothing when outside (mosquitoes can bite through tight clothing).
Use mosquito repellents containing picaridin or DEET on all exposed skin. Apply a thin, even layer of repellent (as per label instructions) to any exposed skin, making sure you reapply it regularly.
• Limit outdoor activity if lots of mosquitoes are about.
• If possible, remove stagnant water where mosquitoes can breed around your campsite.
• Mosquito coils can be effective in small outdoor areas where you gather to sit or eat.

Further information is available from the Department of Health Japanese encephalitis health alert.

Please be advised that due to current dry conditions, we are experiencing an increased number of feral bee activity and swarms gathering around water sources. Be aware that bees maybe present in camping and day use areas, around toilets, water tanks, lakes and rivers.
