Combating Infectious Diseases: Eco-Epidemiology, Disease Mapping, and Travel Medicine

传染病暴发是由人、动物、病媒和环境之间复杂的相互作用驱动的。在全球范围内，疫情爆发的频率和规模都在增加，例如埃博拉和SARS。迫切需要通过准确识别病因、时间和热点来提高公共卫生情报。该项目将制定先进的建模战略，以提高我们对疫情的了解，并优化公共卫生干预措施，以保护人类健康。

Infectious disease outbreaks are driven by complex interactions between humans, animals, vectors, and the environment. Globally, outbreaks have been increasing in frequency and magnitude, e.g. Ebola and SARS. There is an urgent need to improve public health intelligence by accurately identifying the causes, timing, and hotspots. This project will develop advanced modelling strategies for improving our understanding of outbreaks, and optimise public health interventions to protect human health.
