Asian honey bees (Apis cerana) were detected in 2007 in the Cairns area of Queensland. Eradication was attempted but the bees became established and have since been found in Cairns, at Mareeba and Lake Eacham, and as far south as Innisfail. Most Asian honey bee detections have been in the city and port areas of Cairns, and immediately to the south of Cairns in the Gordonvale and Aloomba districts.

Foot-and-mouth disease (FMD) is one of the most contagious of animal diseases. Animals may be infected by inhalation or ingestion. Ruminants are especially sensitive to infection via the respiratory tract.
If foot-and-mouth disease (FMD) is detected in Australia, vaccination will be considered as part of the response from day one.
The role of vaccination in an FMD response will depend upon the unique nature of each outbreak. It will vary depending on a wide range of factors. The factors may include where and when the disease was found, the virus strain and how likely it is to spread further.
Australia will maintain a flexible vaccination policy. This means experts can decide the best role of vaccination in each situation.
