How many people were affected by the Ross River Virus?

According to the World Health Organization, there have been over 1 million reported cases of Ross River virus (RRV) in Australia since 1991. However, the actual number of cases is likely to be much higher, as many cases are not reported. RRV is the most common mosquito-borne disease in Australia, and it can cause a range of symptoms, including fever, rash, joint pain, and fatigue. In some cases, RRV can also lead to more serious complications, such as encephalitis (inflammation of the brain) and meningitis (inflammation of the membranes around the brain and spinal cord).
