EPIDEMIOLOGY & SURVEILLANCE - locally, regionally, globally

AID researchers contribute to local, regional and global understanding of infectious disease threats, working hand-in-hand with affected communities.

  • Outbreaks, WHO pathogens of concern, and AMR distribution and spread
     
  • Neglected tropical and emerging infectious diseases
     
  • Clinical, molecular, spatial, and eco epidemiology
     
  • Field surveys and surveillance
     

Impact: 

  1. Molecular tracking of outbreaks to adapt diagnostic and clinical decision making
     
  2. Disease surveillance and monitoring for management and eradication of neglected and preventable diseases in low/middle income regions
     
  3. Map and track outbreaks and emerging pathogens in Australia
     
  4. Map global trajectories and dynamics of antimicrobial resistance to inform policy and practice
     
  5. Modelling of complex disease transmission routes
