This project aims to investigate the epidemiology of an avian Chlamydia pathogen that is known to infect humans and animals, causing serious disease. Utilising molecular epidemiology approaches, this project will generate new knowledge about dynamics of where, when and how this infection spill-over occurs between different hosts. This project also aims to extend early development work on an innovative diagnostic system for detection of chlamydia in laboratory and point-of-care scenarios. The expected outcomes are a greatly enhanced understanding of infections in humans and animals caused by this understudied pathogen, which will allow for more effective control and management of these infections.

该项目旨在调查一种已知会感染人类和动物并导致严重疾病的禽衣原体病原体的流行病学。利用分子流行病学方法，该项目将产生关于在何处，何时以及如何在不同宿主之间发生这种感染溢出的动态的新知识。该项目还旨在扩大在实验室和护理点检测衣原体的创新诊断系统的早期开发工作。预期的结果是大大增强了对这种未充分研究的病原体引起的人类和动物感染的理解，这将允许更有效地控制和管理这些感染。
