Professor Brian Kay is considered to be one of the pre-eminent entomologists from Australia dealing with a range of regional arbovirus problems, especially dengue. Since 1972, he has published over 240 peer reviewed papers on mosquito bionomics, diagnostics, vector competence, epidemiology and innovative mosquito control: most recently with a landmark strategy against dengue in Lancet (365: 613-617 February 2005). He has also made significant contributions to the understanding of arbovirus ecology in Australia i.e. Ross River, Murray Valley encephalitis viruses, and was honoured in the Queen’s birthday list of 2005 with an AM for elimination of arbovirus diseases in northern Australia and Asia.
