Abstract
Antibodies to Barmah Forest virus, a member of the alphavirus group, which was first isolated in 1974, have been found to be widespread in humans in New South Wales. Antibody studies showed a higher prevalence in the north coastal zones of the State, and lower rates in individuals who were living in all other biophysical zones. Antibody rates were significantly higher in male than in female subjects. The pathogenicity of the Barmah Forest virus is at present not known.Keywords
