This project aims to develop a novel framework for field wildlife disease systems, applied to chytrid fungal infection of an endangered frog species as a case study. The project expects to develop models able to be applied to many disease systems, improve understanding of host resistance and tolerance to infection, and improve capacity for mitigation of emerging infectious diseases. This work should have international impact and provide significant national benefits in ensuring the conservation of Australia’s biodiversity.

该项目旨在开发一种野外野生动物疾病系统的新框架，应用于濒危青蛙物种的壶菌感染作为案例研究。该项目期望开发能够应用于许多疾病系统的模型，提高对宿主抵抗力和感染耐受性的了解，并提高缓解新发传染病的能力。 这项工作应该具有国际影响力，并为确保澳大利亚生物多样性的保护提供重大的国家效益。
