Communities across southern parts of NSW are being urged to protect themselves against mosquito bites following a probable case of Japanese encephalitis (JE), as well as detection of the virus in sentinel chickens.

JE is a rare but serious illness spread by infected mosquitoes which in some cases can cause severe neurological illness with headache, confusion, convulsions and reduced consciousness. A probable case of JE is being investigated in a man in his 60s, who was likely exposed to JE virus in the Riverina region in late December of last year.

NSW Health can also advise of a recent detection of JE virus in the Upper Lachlan Shire near Goulburn through a sentinel chicken blood sample in early January 2026, which indicates that JE virus is likely circulating in the area. NSW Health uses routine sentinel chicken surveillance to provide early warnings about the presence of mosquito-borne viruses.

Director Public Health for Murrumbidgee and Southern NSW Local Health Districts Alison Nikitas said given the widespread area of these detections, anyone living or working in areas at high-risk for JE should take steps to protect themselves by avoiding mosquito bites and getting vaccinated.

“There is no specific treatment for JE so it is very important for people who live in or travel to these areas to be aware of the elevated risk,” Ms Nikitas said. “Importantly, there is a safe, effective vaccine to protect against JE virus which is free to anyone who lives or routinely works in various inland regions as well as for people who work in some other high-risk occupations.”

People who meet the eligibility criteria for vaccination should make an appointment with their GP, Aboriginal Medical Service or pharmacy and let the provider know it is for the JE vaccine. These providers may require a few days’ notice so they can place an order for the vaccine.

A booster dose may be recommended for some people. People who have been vaccinated more than a year ago should discuss whether they need a booster with a healthcare provider.

Information on eligibility for a free JE vaccine is available here: https://www.health.nsw.gov.au/Infectious/jev/Pages/vaccination.aspx

JE virus cannot be transmitted directly between humans or from any other animal.

What’s more annoying than a mozzie bite?

Getting bitten because you didn’t apply your repellent correctly!

Take time to apply repellent correctly. It’ll stop you from getting itchy mozzie bites that can sometimes make you really sick. Here’s how to apply:

• use repellent that contains DEET, picaridin or oil of lemon eucalyptus.
• apply repellent evenly to all areas of exposed skin – in a similar way to how you apply sunscreen, don’t forget your face!
• apply repellent AFTER you apply sunscreen
• reapply repellent regularly. This is important if you are outside during hot weather, or swimming
• apply repellent to young children – don't let them apply their own
• always read and follow the instructions on the label.

Feeling the heat? Don’t let dehydration sneak up on you 🥵💧

As the weather warms up, your body loses water faster through sweat. You might lose more water than you put in especially when your body’s working harder to stay cool in the heat.

If you have any signs of dehydration, move to a cool place, remove unnecessary layers and take small sips of cool water.

Young children and older adults have a higher chance of becoming dehydrated. If symptoms persist or get worse, use the healthdirect Symptom Checker to find the care that’s right for you.
