There is none in New Zealand, can't speak for Australia.


zee_prime
True. The only other countries I know of without it are Britain and Norway.


jpturboprop
absolutely true. The quarentine rules and the oceans keep it that way. Geogrphy has spared our nation this problem, quarentine keeps it that way.

No rabies, no foot and mouth disease, the only malaria is what someone has brought in with them, virtually no tuberculosis or leprosy, diphtheria is unheard of, no cholera, no smallpox, no yellow fever, no sleeping sickness and no elephantaisis. No plague either.

You can get dengue in some parts of the country and there are diseases like Murray Valley encephalitis but they are rare. Colds, flu, measles, chicken pox of course.

While animal rabies has never been reported in Australia or New Zealand there is the potential for the virus to be introduced into Australia from other countries

Addit info - Three people have died of rabies in Australia: an unconfirmed case in 1867, and two recent cases in 1987 and 1990. Both recent cases were undiagnosed before death. This was not surprising since there was no history or recent travel outside Australia.

The first case was a 9-year-old boy who died in Brisbane. The likely source of the virus was a monkey bite in India 16 months before the illness. The second case was a 10-year-old girl who died in Sydney from encephalitis in 1990. This girl was a Vietnamese immigrant who had come from North Vietnam to Australia via Hong Kong. The presumed incubation period was very long, at least 6 years and 3 months
