Pork industry waits for JEV vaccine three years after viral outbreak
Australia's $6 billion pork industry has been waiting for a vaccine against the Japanese encephalitis virus (JEV) for three years since its outbreak. Nine people have died from the virus since 2021, including two in Queensland this year. A vaccine exists for humans, but two separate pig vaccines are yet to clear federal approval processes. It comes as primary producers do everything they can to combat the mosquito-borne virus that causes significant reproductive issues in sows and has cost the pork industry millions of dollars. Emergency permits The Australian Pesticides and Veterinary Medicines Authority (APVMA) said it was assessing two emergency use permit applications, which would allow scientists to trial their vaccines in piggeries. The competing vaccines have been developed primarily by the University of Queensland and veterinary company Apiam Animal Health. Chris Richards says he has 100,000 doses of a safe and effective vaccine. ( Supplied: Chris Richards ) Apiam Animal Health chief executive Chris Richards said he lodged his application on March 14, it passed the preliminary assessment two days later, and was told by the APVMA he would hear back within two weeks. He said he had been waiting for six weeks. He said the company had the capacity to vaccinate 50,000 sows within two weeks of emergency approval. "We haven't … really been notified that there are any deficiencies in the application," he said. "But also haven't been updated as to when that might be processed. "If we got an emergency use permit today, we'd be able to vaccinate most of those sows that are in the affected areas in the next two weeks." Feeling forgotten Farmers have been told their best defence is mosquito controls as The most recent detection was at the Betta Pork facility in Biloela. Director Laurie Brosnan said he was following industry best practice to keep his piggery safe, but it was not enough without an effective vaccine. He said Betta Pork had an independent contractor who sprayed open waterways, puddles, and other areas "at a considerable cost". "We also treat the animals to protect them against JEV," he said. "It's just unfortunate that there's only so much you can do." Laurie Brosnan says he is frustrated with the wait for a vaccine. ( Supplied: Laurie Brosnan ) He said he felt his industry had been forgotten. "I can't help but feel that the pig industry is not front of mind," he said. "I understand we're in election time, and politicians make promises as they do. "I still feel that the government isn't prioritising or even giving the pig industry a fair go." Top concern Australian Pork chief executive Margo Andrea said JEV was a top concern for the industry. "The previous outbreak in 2022 cost the industry millions of dollars and significantly impacted operations for piggeries across four states," she said. "Three years later, JEV continues to contribute to losses for producers and their communities. "We will continue pushing for a vaccine that will help keep our herds safe and healthy and help safeguard our producers' livelihoods." Growing need University of Queensland Associate Professor Jody Peters, who oversaw the development of one of the vaccines, said there was enough data to show that it was safe and effective. Jody Peters (right) looks at cells used for vaccines with Jessica Harrison. ( Supplied: University of Queensland ) Dr Peters said her team started working on it as soon as they were notified of the first JEV outbreak in Australia in early 2022. "The initial trials occurred at the end of 2022, and some additional trials occurred in 2023," she said. "I think we have got sufficient data to prove that it is effective, and it is safe. "But, ultimately, it is up to the regulatory bodies to determine whether we have produced enough data to date." Dr Peters said the need for a commercially available vaccine was growing. "With all of the flooding that's occurred recently, the mosquito that is likely the culprit for transmitting the virus would have bred up huge populations," she said. "I am incredibly frustrated, as are pig farmers, with how long it is taking to get these approvals across the line. "But I do believe that we will have a vaccine on the market in the future."

Japanese encephalitis is spread by mosquitoes. Here's how to protect yourself
If you live in an area that's recently been impacted by flooding or unrelenting rain, you may have noticed an increase in mozzies. The damp, humid conditions are ideal for mosquito breeding and raise the risk of outbreaks of diseases such as Japanese encephalitis is a mosquito-borne viral infection that has been slowly spreading through eastern states and other parts of the country since 2022. Last month an ACT man died from Japanese encephalitis after contracting the disease while holidaying in the Murrumbidgee region — the fourth death from the virus in Australia this year. And in the last month, So how do you protect yourself from mosquitoes in your backyard and home? And what do you need to be on the lookout for? What are the symptoms of Japanese encephalitis? Daniel Rawle, head of the QIMR Berghofer Medical Research Institute Emerging Viral Diseases Lab, says most people who contract Japanese encephalitis develop a mild case of the virus within five to 15 days of being bitten. But some people can become seriously ill. Symptoms include: Confusion Severe headaches Changes in conscious state Seizures Fever Abdominal pain, vomiting "In a small number it can be very severe, lead to encephalitis or brain infection and inflammation, and unfortunately a proportion of those people won't survive," Dr Rawle says. Experts say it is important for anyone experiencing those symptoms to seek urgent medical attention. A JEV vaccine is available in most states and territories at selected general practitioners, pharmacies, and community immunisation providers. How can I stop mosquitoes from biting me? If you're heading outside — especially around dusk or in the early evening, when mosquitoes are most active — wear long-sleeved shirts and insect repellent and make sure you don't bring any back inside with you. Make sure you have good flyscreens to prevent mosquitoes coming into your home. And a surprisingly low-cost method is using a good old-fashioned pedestal fan to create a strong enough air current to prevent the insects flying around. Photo shows A woman touches multiple mosquito bites on her shoulder, learns how to manage them in her home and yard. There are some simple steps you can take around your home and garden to reduce mozzie numbers. Do mosquito zappers work? While mosquito zappers will kill flying insects generally speaking, mosquitoes aren't very attracted to them. Every mozzie they kill is one less to bite you, but it's probably the least effective way to control mozzies. Do natural mosquito coils, patches and wristbands work? Devices that release citronella and other plant-based materials will offer a little assistance, but not enough to provide complete protection. Mosquito wristbands and patches have been shown not to really work at all. Apart from a centimetre either side of the band or patch, you're not really going to get any protection. Does natural citronella spray work? Some plant products will help camouflage your smell against the mosquitoes, but they're still buzzing around trying to find you. On the other hand, proven repellents include the widely used Diethyltoumide (DEET) which effectively prevents mosquito bites and has repeatedly been shown to have minimal adverse side effects if used as directed. Is DEET bad for me? The short answer is no. Insect repellents in Australia have been tested by the Australian Pesticides and Veterinary Medicines Authority, who make sure they're safe and effective to use. DEET has been available for more than 70 years now, and it's used by billions of people around the world. Generally speaking, the only adverse reactions that people have is if they get it in their eyes, drink it or put it on very young babies.

Your information is being handled in accordance with the Email address Subscribe But if you're concerned, you could think about the strength of the repellent, which often determines how long it lasts, not how many mosquitoes it keeps away. So if you're only outside for a short period of time, you don't necessarily have to reach for the strongest tropical-strength repellent. You can choose a lower dose, kid-friendly type repellent, because over a shorter period of time it's probably still going to provide you the same level of protection. And you might find that that's a product you're more happy to use on a regular basis. How do I stop mosquitoes from breeding at my home? The most important step you can take to reduce mosquito numbers in your yard is regularly getting rid of any standing water (especially after rain events), including in your gutters, plant trays, buckets and plants like bromeliads which hold pools of water. A pot of stagnant water surrounded by green plants in a garden, which can attract mosquitoes and allow them to breed. ( Supplied: Adobe Stock ) Mozzies breed in water and they don't need much of it to lay their eggs — a thimble full of stagnant water is enough. Doing this at least every week will break their life cycle. Especially in the warmer weather when their life cycle shortens so they breed and grow more quickly. The entrance and overflow of rainwater tanks should have sieves with mesh small enough to prevent mosquitoes, and it's worth checking for cracks if you have a plastic tank, or for rust holes if you have a metal one.
