This work will inform our understanding of the causes of acute respiratory illnesses in Australia at the present time by looking for both known and previously undiscovered respiratory viruses. Increasing the knowledge base regarding causes of disease will have downstream relevance for health policy planners seeking to assess the burden of disease due to different causes. Early identification and description of new diseases will allow pre-emptive evaluation of new public health threats. This information will help to ensure availability and marketability of vaccines to prevent infection.

这项工作将通过寻找已知和以前未发现的呼吸道病毒，使我们了解目前澳大利亚急性呼吸道疾病的原因。增加关于疾病原因的知识基础将对寻求评估不同原因造成的疾病负担的卫生政策规划者具有下游相关性。早期识别和描述新疾病将有助于对新的公共卫生威胁进行先发制人的评估。这一信息将有助于确保预防感染的疫苗的可得性和可销售性。
