Epidemic polyarthritis is an outdated term that was formerly used to refer to polyarthritis caused by two mosquito-borne viruses endemic to Australasia:[citation needed]. The term was first coined by P. G. Dowling in 1946 to describe an outbreak of a short, mild fever accompanied by polyarthritis, which occurred among Australian troops in North Queensland during February, March, and April 1945. [1][2]
