		The Northern Territory is free of the 2 principal vectors of dengue, although there have been numerous instances of both Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus imported into Darwin.
		However, its absence from the greater Darwin area, the failure to detect this species in ovitraps in Darwin for over 25 years, and the occurrence of this species only in very low numbers in remote localities away from potential importation routes, indicates that the larvae were unlikely to have been this species.
		The Northern Territory Remains free of dengue fever vectors.

	The Station Record at Darwin, Northern Territory, Australia
		At the end of March 2000, the record at Darwin was presented, based on data obtained from the Goddard Institute (GISS) which compiles thousands of station records from around the world to produce those global graphs which show a warming of up to +0.7°C in the last 100 years.
		Although the Darwin CBD was much less built-up then than it is now, I would expect that a station at either of those 2 locations would have been subject to a reasonably significant urban heat island effect.
		The whole point of this investigation of just one station is that although Darwin shows an overall cooling due to that site change, this faulty record is the one used by GISS and CRU in their compilation of global mean temperature.
