Abstract

A unique outbreak of Ross River virus (RRV) infection was reported in Fiji in 1979. In 2013, 29
RRV seroprevalence among residents was 46.5%. Of those born after 1982, 37.4% had anti-RRV 30
antibodies. Between 2013-2015, 10.9% of residents had seroconverted to RRV suggesting 31
ongoing endemic circulation of RRV in Fiji.
