This project aims to understand the regulation of viral disease by vertebrate hosts. Viruses are rapidly evolving threats to humans, agriculture and wildlife and understanding of these threats can be transformed by combining the latest genomic, ecological and immune-pathological approaches. This project expects to reveal how hosts manage the bad effects of viruses in natural populations and fill gaps in fundamental knowledge of virus-host evolution. Anticipated benefits include improved management, risk assessment and decision-making for animal disease and biosecurity in Australia and globally.

该项目旨在了解脊椎动物宿主对病毒疾病的调控。病毒正在迅速演变对人类、农业和野生动物的威胁，通过结合最新的基因组、生态和免疫病理方法，可以改变对这些威胁的理解。该项目希望揭示宿主如何管理自然种群中病毒的不良影响，并填补病毒宿主进化基础知识的空白。预期的好处包括改善澳大利亚和全球动物疾病和生物安全的管理、风险评估和决策。
