Skin sores are highly prevalent in remote Australian Indigenous communities and can lead to invasive infections and rheumatic heart disease. We will develop mathematical models to understand the transmission of skin sores, allowing us to define the optimal extent (household, community, region), timing and triggers for interventions to interrupt transmission. This will guide public health policy in reducing the prevalence of skin sores and scabies, and their accompanying disease burden.

皮肤溃疡在偏远的澳大利亚土著社区非常普遍，可能导致侵入性感染和风湿性心脏病。我们将开发数学模型来了解皮肤溃疡的传播，使我们能够定义干预措施的最佳范围（家庭，社区，地区），时间和触发因素以中断传播。这将指导公共卫生政策减少皮肤溃疡和疥疮的患病率及其伴随的疾病负担。
