Antiviral Responses

RRV has been prevalent in the South Pacific region for decades and causes substantial economic and social costs. Though RRV is geographically restricted, a number of other alphaviruses have spread globally due to expansion of the mosquito vectors and increased international travel.

The impacts of dryland salinity on landscapes and agriculture are well documented, but few links have been made to public health. A cluster of cases of Ross River Virus (RRV) disease in the vicinity of a dryland salinity expression in the town of Warwick, Queensland, has highlighted the potential role of secondary salinity expressions as breeding zones for mosquitoes, including vector species of RRV. It is suggested that further work is required to investigate the matter in Queensland, particularly in relation to the expansion of urban populations in south-east Queensland into old agricultural lands containing secondary salinity expressions.

We report two cases of Ross River virus (RRV) infection in Dutch travellers who visited Australia during February to April 2015. These cases coincided with the largest recorded outbreak of RRV disease in Australia since 1996. This report serves to create awareness among physicians to consider travel-related RRV disease in differential diagnosis of patients with fever, arthralgia and/or rash returning from the South Pacific area, and to promote awareness among professionals advising travellers to this region.

ABSTRAKAustralia setiap tahun mempunyai kebijakan bantuan luar negeri yang difokuskan pada kawasan Asia Pasifik. Untuk kawasan Pasifik Selatan, Australia memfokuskan pada negara-negara Melanesia seperti Papua Nugini, Solomon Islands, Fiji dan Vanuatu. Namun sejak tahun 2001, Australia meningkatkan bantuan finansial ke sebuah negara kecil bernama Nauru. Nauru terletak di kawasan Micronesia dan mempunyai ukuran yang sangat kecil. Dibandingkan dengan negara Pasifik Selatan lainnya, bantuan Australia ke Nauru cenderung terus meningkat. Fakta ini menimbulkan suatu pertanyaan, mengapa Australia meningkatkan bantuan finansialnya ke Nauru, khusunya sejak tahun 2001?Dalam menjawab pertanyaan di atas, penulis menggunakan teori motivasi bantuan luar negeri, kemanan regional, dan konsep pertahanan Australia, yaitu continental defence. Hasil dari penelitian ini adalah Australia meningkatkan bantuan finansial ke Nauru karena ingin menjaga keamanan regional. Nauru terancam menjadi negara gagal hingga dapat memberikan efek yang buruk terhadap keamanan regional Pasifik Selatan.   Kata Kunci : bantuan luar negeri, keamanan regional, negara gagal. ABSTRACTAustralia has foreign aid policy distributed to Asia Pacific region annually. Specifically for South Pacific region, Melanesian countries such as Papua New Guinea, Solomon Islands, Fiji and Vanuatu had always been main priorities. But since 2001, Australia increased its financial aid to Nauru, a small country located in Micronesia. Compared to other countries in South Pacific, Australia's financial aid to Nauru tends to increase. This fact raise a question about why Australia increased its financial aid to Nauru, especially since 2001?  To answer the question, the writer use foreign aid motivation theory, regional security, and Australia's defence concept, continental defence. The result of this research is, Australia increased its financial aid to Nauru because Australia want to maintain regional security. Nauru is potential failed state that can disturbed regional security in South PacificKeywords : failed state, foreign aid, regional security

Assistance Programs

The development assistance programs of Australia, China and Taiwan impact each other’s geopolitical interests in the South Pacific region. This “aid triangle” has recently undergone a significant transformation. Previously, the interests of Australia and China aligned in competing against Taiwan for political influence in the region. However, since 2008, China-Taiwan relations have warmed and their aid contest in the South Pacific has been largely put on hold. This has ameliorated Taiwan’s conflict with Australia, and the two countries have increased their development assistance cooperation. However, China’s role in undermining Australia’s policy towards Fiji, and the global deterioration in China’s relations with a US coalition (including Australia), have potentially increased the competitive aspects of the Sino-Australian side of the triangle.

The growth of international cooperation in the South Pacific region has been one of the remarkable developments in regional collaboration in the post-war era. During the past twelve years, three multilateral arrangements have come into existence bearing upon South Pacific affairs. These are the six-power South Pacific Commission (SPC), the three-power Australian—New Zealand—United States Mutual Security Treaty (known as ANZUS), and the Southeast Asian Collective Defense Treaty Organization (SEATO).
