This project aims to develop new mathematical and computational models to examine whether cultural innovations creates conditions for the emergence of new diseases. It will combine elements of microbial evolution and cultural evolution to advance a new modelling framework to consider their joint dynamics. The expected outcome is an enhanced understanding of how human behaviour influences the emergence of infections. This will bring benefits of computational models for broad use in understanding complex population processes, and training to maintain mathematical and computational skills in the Australian workforce.

该项目旨在开发新的数学和计算模型，以检查文化创新是否为新疾病的出现创造了条件。它将结合微生物进化和文化进化的要素，提出一个新的建模框架，以考虑它们的联合动态。预期的结果是加强对人类行为如何影响感染出现的理解。这将带来广泛使用计算模型的好处，以了解复杂的人口过程，并培训澳大利亚劳动力保持数学和计算技能。
