Department of Health

The 2024/25 season surveillance began on 1 November 2024. Surveillance activities are undertaken by local councils on behalf of the Department of Health.

Human cases of mosquito-borne diseases

Mosquito surveillance is conducted throughout the Victorian mosquito breeding season each year. Surveillance reports represent data on mosquito surveillance and notified cases of mosquito-borne diseases in Victoria. Surveillance report data is received from medical practitioners and laboratories and may not always reflect the current rate of mosquito-borne diseases.

This report contains a range of indicators relating to mosquito-borne diseases actively monitored by the department. The indicators used in these reports are sourced from the following surveillance systems:

  • Human surveillance (notified confirmed and probable cases and/or modelled predictions of mosquito-borne disease)
  • Mosquito surveillance (adult mosquitoes)

This report is updated weekly with information collected in the week prior, noting there can be a time delay from mosquito field collection to reporting.
