This project aims to investigate the role of chemical pollution on disease susceptibility and survival in shorebirds along the East Asian-Australasian Flyway (EAAF). Among all long-distance migratory birds, the more than eight million shorebirds along the EAAF have notably been hit hard by global change, with population declines up to 80%. This project will use data from birds on their Asian migratory stopover sites, data from seven years of blood and virus samples, and 38 years of banding data collected while staying on the Australian non-breeding grounds. The project will provide essential data for developing mitigation strategies to help curb the populations’ demise, while informing on the effects of pollution on the role of migrants in disease spread.

本项目旨在研究化学污染对东亚-澳大拉西亚迁徙路线（EAAF）沿岸沿着滨鸟疾病易感性和生存的作用。在所有长途迁徙的鸟类中，沿着的800多万只滨鸟受到全球变化的严重打击，数量减少了80%。该项目将使用来自亚洲迁徙中途停留地的鸟类数据、来自7年血液和病毒样本的数据以及在澳大利亚非繁殖地停留期间收集的38年带状数据。该项目将为制定缓解战略提供基本数据，以帮助遏制人口死亡，同时通报污染对移民在疾病传播中的作用的影响。
