Lead Applicant: Zvonimir Poljak

Research Priority: Animal Health & Welfare

Program Type: Tier 1

Funding Cycle: 2021/2022

Research Centre: NA

Research Summary: Genetic sequencing technology and analyses are an effective means for industry to identify, prevent and control contagious diseases that pose a risk to the agri-food sector. This study aims to use advanced computational techniques to make predictions about suitable approaches to predict between-species spillover of influenza.
