Mathematical modelling of data on travellers traversing Australia's borders and their contact patterns can be used to understand the pathways by which infectious diseases enter and spread in Australia. Currently available social contact data which informs models are inadequate and outdated. Gathering new data relevant to modern society will help control future infectious disease threats to our society. Our aim is to collect detailed, unique data on demography, behavioural and social patterns of travellers and residents, and use this to develop mathematical models to evaluate effective control measures for emerging infections in Australia. This study will make a unique contribution to national disease control policy.

对穿越澳大利亚边境的旅行者及其接触模式的数据进行数学建模，可用于了解传染病进入和在澳大利亚传播的途径。目前可供模型使用的社会联系数据是不充分和过时的。收集与现代社会有关的新数据将有助于控制未来传染病对我们社会的威胁。我们的目标是收集关于旅行者和居民的人口统计、行为和社会模式的详细、独特的数据，并用这些数据来开发数学模型，以评估澳大利亚新出现的感染的有效控制措施。本研究将对国家疾病控制政策做出独特的贡献。
