Brief description Males are a reservoir of infection and novel vaccine approaches to control Chlamydia infections in young men are needed urgently. This study will be essential for the development of interventions to control infection and will inform strategies for manipulating the immune system within the male reproductive tract that may be applied to other sexually transmitted pathogens. The studies will benefit the health and welfare of the Australian people under National Research Priority 2, promoting and maintaining good health and a healthy start to life.
