Developing a wildlife health intelligence and vaccine distribution system

该项目旨在建立一个与行业相关的管道，将疫苗以食用诱饵的形式输送给动物，并建立一个近乎实时的监测系统，以评估管理行动的影响。该项目将开发超灵敏的诊断测试，并将生物标志物纳入澳大利亚领先的害虫动物防治公司的诱饵中。将使用塔斯马尼亚开发的人工智能技术监测饵料摄取和现场疾病状况。这种综合的野生动物健康情报和可扩展的疫苗平台可以帮助保护标志性的塔斯马尼亚魔鬼免受疾病侵害，并提高澳大利亚对非洲猪瘟等畜牧业迫在眉睫的威胁的准备。

This project aims to establish an industry-linked pipeline for vaccines to be delivered to animals in edible baits and a near real-time monitoring system for assessing the impact of management actions. This project will develop ultrasensitive diagnostic tests and incorporate biomarkers into baits from Australia's leading pest animal control company. Bait uptake and disease status in the field will be monitored using artificial intelligence technology developed in Tasmania. This integrated wildlife health intelligence and scalable vaccine platform can help protect the iconic Tasmanian devil from disease and increase Australia's preparedness for looming threats to the livestock industry such as African swine fever.
