APBT mom, LPN, RN · Nov 12, 2007

Here's what I found. This is he site that says what it is

http://www.healthdirect.gov.au/topics/Ross_River_Virus I went here first clicked on the first article and it sent me here

http://www.betterhealth.vic.gov.au/bhcv2/bhcarticles.nsf/pages/Ross_River_disease The first line says it a alphavirus. Here's the definition and there is also a link in the article.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alphavirus (this is wikipedia so make sure that you can use it as a resource)

This site tells is the classification of the virus.

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/ICTVdb/ICTVdB/00.073.0.01.htm

I found all of this in about two minutes. If you use a search engine to find articles or information sometimes if you change the words around or sustitute a word for another it will bring up what you are looking for.

Hope this helps.
