Ross River virus (RRV) is a virus transmitted to humans primarily through the bite of infected mosquitoes. It is the most common mosquito-borne disease in Australia.

These symptoms can vary in severity and may persist for weeks to months. In some cases, joint pain and fatigue may persist for an extended period, affecting the quality of life of the individual.
