This project aims to identify the viruses and bacteria that are shed from the respiratory tract of horses after long distance confined transportation (eg, in horse floats and aeroplane stalls). Horses are transported long distances with increasing frequency, but the risk of serious respiratory disease to these horses, and the subsequent risk to other horses at the destination has not been investigated. This project will develop novel, non-invasive diagnostic techniques to facilitate early detection of these micro-organisms and will utilise new molecular genetic methods to identify the virulent strains of these organisms and to increase our understanding of their epidemiology.

该项目旨在鉴定在长距离密闭运输（例如，在马浮和飞机栏中）后从马的呼吸道脱落的病毒和细菌。马匹被长途运输的频率越来越高，但尚未调查这些马匹患严重呼吸道疾病的风险以及随后对目的地其他马匹的风险。该项目将开发新的非侵入性诊断技术，以促进早期检测这些微生物，并将利用新的分子遗传学方法来识别这些生物的毒性菌株，并增加我们对其流行病学的了解。
