The impact of global terrorism, SARS and Avian influenza underlines the importance to Australia of having advanced early-warning systems for airborne disease threats. Our new technique will provide continuous monitoring, rapid detection, and viability reporting on pathogenic microorganisms transmitted by air. The technique is non-invasive and is feasible to analyse much larger populations of humans and animals with their minimal disturbance. This will benefit Australia and protect the country in the areas of public and animal health, and defence against bioterrorism or biowarfare. The technology has worldwide export potential, creating new high-tech enterprises and jobs.

全球恐怖主义、严重急性呼吸系统综合症和禽流感的影响凸显了澳大利亚拥有先进的空气传播疾病威胁预警系统的重要性。我们的新技术将提供空气传播病原微生物的连续监测、快速检测和活力报告。该技术是非侵入性的，并且可以在最小干扰的情况下分析更大的人类和动物种群。这将使澳大利亚受益，并在公众和动物健康以及防御生物恐怖主义或生物战方面保护澳大利亚。该技术具有全球出口潜力，创造新的高科技企业和就业机会。
