Researchers: Dr Anita Heywood (Principal investigator)

Brief description The island nature of Australia means that Australia’s quarantine policies and opportunities for disease control are unique. Australia is likely to encounter a disease first by importation, then by spread around the country. Such spread has implications for trade and tourism, as well as health. In this project I will collect data from people entering Australia, finding out about where they have been and who they have mixed with prior to arrival, and how best to control emerging infections.
