Travel patterns, traveller behaviour and their relationship to the importation of infectious disease into Australia

点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

The island nature of Australia means that Australia’s quarantine policies and opportunities for disease control are unique. Australia is likely to encounter a disease first by importation, then by spread around the country. Such spread has implications for trade and tourism, as well as health. In this project I will collect data from people entering Australia, finding out about where they have been and who they have mixed with prior to arrival, and how best to control emerging infections.
