AbstractBuruli ulcer, a chronic subcutaneous infection caused by Mycobacterium ulcerans, is increasing in prevalence in southeastern Australia. Possums are a local wildlife reservoir for M. ulcerans and, although mosquitoes have been implicated in transmission, it remains unclear how humans acquire infection. We conducted extensive field survey analyses of M. ulcerans prevalence among mosquitoes in the Mornington Peninsula region of southeastern Australia.

New Results doi: https://doi.org/10.1101/2023.08.07.552371 AbstractRoss River Virus and Barmah Forest Virus infections (alphaviruses) have short incubation periods and are transmitted to humans by mosquitoes. Mycobacterium ulcerans infection (Buruli ulcer) has a much longer incubation period and its mode of transmission is contested.
