The National Arbovirus Monitoring Program (NAMP) in South Australia

The program is responsible for looking at the distribution of economically important arboviruses (insect-borne viruses) and their vectors across Australia. These viruses include bluetongue, Akabane and bovine ephemeral fever (BEF).

One of the key objectives of the NAMP project is to facilitate the live export of stock to countries sensitive to bluetongue, Akabane and BEF viruses by providing scientific information for the development of export protocols and to meet export certification requirements.

NAMP in South Australia is managed by PIRSA Biosecurity – Animal Health with cooperation from farmers and graziers across the state.  NAMP is jointly funded by the cattle, sheep and goat industries, livestock exporters, and the state, territory and Australian governments.

Within South Australia, there are currently four sentinel cattle herds that are blood sampled twice a year to rule-out or confirm exposure to arboviruses and three entomology sites where monthly insect collections are made (December to May) to monitor for insects suitable as vectors for arboviruses.
