Researchers: A/Pr Martyn Kirk (Principal investigator) ,  A/Pr Kathryn Glass ,  Dr Dieter Bulach

Brief description 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.
