Via ABC News, excerpt :
" Two people have been diagnosed with dengue fever at Innisfail, south of Cairns, in far north Queensland.
Queensland Health says others are also being tested, with results to be known later today.
Senior medical entomologist Joe Davis says people who believe they may have symptoms of dengue fever should see a doctor immediately.
"It's so important for people if they are unwell because if they don't go and see a physician and they don't pop up on our dengue radar," he said.
"If they're not on our dengue radar, we don't know they're there and that's how outbreaks happen, that's how outbreaks continue."
