Emerging infectious diseases (EID) are among the most significant threats to conservation, agriculture and public health worldwide. Among these are two globally significant avian pathogens, Chlamydia psittaci and Beak and Feather Disease Virus. This project aims to determine transmission dynamics, fitness costs of infection, and quantify the roles of genetic diversity and host stress in infection and disease emergence. The project aims to also determine to what extent zoonotic poultry/human infection is related to infection in wild birds. The outcomes aim to be the development of critical knowledge and tools to help manage two avian pathogens causing significant conservation, agricultural and public health concern around the world.

新出现的传染病(EID)是世界范围内对保护、农业和公共卫生的最重大威胁之一。其中有两种具有全球意义的禽类病原体，鹦鹉热衣原体和喙羽病病毒。该项目旨在确定传播动力学、感染的适宜性成本，并量化遗传多样性和宿主应激在感染和疾病出现中的作用。该项目还旨在确定人畜共患家禽/人的感染在多大程度上与野生鸟类的感染有关。成果旨在开发关键知识和工具，以帮助管理在世界各地引起重大保护、农业和公共卫生问题的两种禽类病原体。
