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之一，发病率位居世界前列。我们的项目将学术、政府和行业合作伙伴聚集在一起，利用新的基因技术更好地识别弯曲杆菌感染的来源和风险因素。该项目将帮助卫生机构将基因组学纳入公共卫生领域，其发现将直接为政府政策和行业实践提供信息，以最大限度地减少由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.
