"Health authorities in the Northern Territory have issued warnings for
residents and visitors to avoid mosquito bites after two people from Alice
Springs died from Murray Valley encephalitis.

It’s a reminder that mosquitoes in many parts of Australia can be more than
just a nuisance.

Without a vaccine for Murray Valley encephalitis, preventing disease relies on
preventing mosquito bites."
