Dieter Bulach co-CI on NHMRC project investigating sources of Campylobacter in Australia
Funded in 2016, this three-year NHMRC partnership grant is led out of ANU by Assoc Prof Martyn Kirk, with collaborators from public agencies and institutions around Australia and New Zealand.
UNDERSTANDING THE SOURCES OF CAMPYLOBACTER IN AUSTRALIA
Campylobacter is a key cause of food-borne disease globally, with Australian rates of reported illness amongst the highest in the world. Critical elements of successful control programs overseas have included collaborative sharing of information among stakeholders, development of innovative genomic and epidemiological methods, and use of this information to develop interventions to reduce the incidence of illness. This collaborative project seeks to harness rapid advances in genomics, epidemiology and mathematical modelling to identify risks and reduce human illnesses from Campylobacter in Australia.
