Understanding the sources of Campylobacter in Australia

弯曲杆菌是澳大利亚食源性疾病的主要原因，其患病率是世界上最高的。我们的项目汇集了学术，政府和行业合作伙伴，利用新的遗传技术，以更好地确定弯曲杆菌感染的来源和风险因素。该项目将协助卫生机构将基因组学纳入公共卫生领域，研究结果将直接为政府政策和行业实践提供信息，以尽量减少弯曲杆菌引起的疾病。

Campylobacter is a key cause of foodborne disease in Australia, with rates of illness amongst the highest in the world. Our project brings together academic, government and industry partners to harness new genetic techniques to better identify sources and risk factors for Campylobacter infection. The project will assist health agencies to include genomics in public health, with findings directly informing government policies and industry practices to minimise disease caused by Campylobacter.
