Abstract

Ross River virus (RRV), the causative agent of epidemic polyarthritis or Ross River fever, is member of the Alphavirus genus in the Togaviridae family and is transmitted by a variety of mosquito vectors (Chen et al., 2018; Yuen et al., 2021). The virus is enveloped, with a positive sense, single-stranded RNA genome (~11.8 kb) that encodes non-structural and structural proteins in two separate open reading frames (Chen et al., 2018).
