There were 42,451 laboratory reports recorded by the Virology and Serology Laboratory Reporting Scheme in 1995. Following recent epidemic years, low numbers of measles reports were received. The number of reports of pertussis was similar to previous years. Ross River virus reports were markedly reduced compared with previous years. Six reports of Japanese encephalitis virus were
recorded following the outbreak in the Torres Strait. For viral meningitis no single type of enterovirus was reported in large numbers as is usually the case. Consecutive epidemics of influenza A and influenza B were recorded in the winter months. Influenza A sub-type H1N1 was the predominating strain for the first time since 1988. Reports of respiratory syncytial virus were received in large numbers while rotavirus numbers remained low compared with previous years.
