Diarrhoea remains one of the commonest causes of death in young children. Most of these deaths occur in places that have limited clean water, food, and health care. Although deaths from diarrhoea are rare in Australia, Indigenous children still suffer from frequent and severe episodes of diarrhoea, much more so that than non-Indigenous infants. This research aims to reduce this suffering by finding ways to both prevent and treat diarrhoea in young children.

腹泻仍然是幼儿死亡的最常见原因之一。这些死亡大多发生在清洁水、食物和医疗保健有限的地方。虽然腹泻死亡在澳大利亚很少见，但土著儿童仍然经常遭受严重的腹泻，比非土著婴儿严重得多。这项研究旨在通过寻找预防和治疗幼儿腹泻的方法来减少这种痛苦。
