Emerging infectious neurological diseases in Australia; from enhanced recognition to improved response

传染性神经疾病(IND)，如脑炎，是严重的，经常导致长期残疾。像寨卡病毒这样的新Ind病毒构成了真正的威胁。在他的博士学位期间，布里顿博士发现了儿童脑炎的爆发，并描述了严重的后果。在这里，布里顿博士建议将他的工作扩展到所有年龄段，包括其他类型的IND，并探索新的方法来检测疫情。他将与领先的国家监测和传染病研究中心的专家合作

Infectious neurological diseases(IND) such as encephalitis are severe and frequently cause long term disability. New IND like Zika pose a real threat. During his PhD, Dr Britton identified outbreaks of encephalitis in children and described serious consequences. Here, Dr Britton proposes to extend his work across all ages, include other types of IND and explore novel methods to detect outbreaks. He will work with experts at leading national research centres in surveillance and infectious disease
