Funded Activity Summary

Australia has experienced a prolonged epidemic of pertussis from 2008 to 2012 and is currently experiencing another epidemic. In this project, we aim to elucidate the evolutionary dynamics of the epidemics by genome sequencing and develop a practical high throughput culture independent method for epidemiological typing. The outcomes will be highly significant for surveillance of pertussis infections and designing strategies for control and prevention of pertussis.
