Figure 74: This figure shows notified cases of BFV infection in Australia between 2008 and 2013, by month and year and state or territory. The figure shows the outbreak particularly affecting Victoria in late 2010 and early 2011. The figure also shows that in October 2012, notifications began to increase. This marked the start of an outbreak of likely false positive notifications that continued into late 2013. Seasonality of BFV is less marked than for RRV, and this is thought partly to be due to false positive diagnoses
