| Murray Valley e. |
a viral encephalitis that occurred epidemically in 1950 and 1951 in the Murray Valley, Victoria, Australia, and was later proved to be a recurrence of the Australian X encephalitis of the 1920s. It is caused by a flavivirus that infects birds and mosquitoes, most often in northern Australia and New Guinea. Epidemics are infrequent and children are the most seriously affected. See also under virus.
