The (S)WASH pilot study is investigating the differential impact of school- and community-based deworming and WASH programs on STH infections in Timor-Leste. The pilot project represents Phase 1 of the study to establish 'proof of principle' in preparation for Phase 2, a definitive full-scale cluster RCT.
Anaemia among Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children and women in Australia: Assessing risk factors and control strategy
AusPathoGen aims to reduce the impact of infectious diseases on public health by improving pathogen characterisation and optimising responses through large-scale integration of pathogen genomics, epidemiological data and surveillance data at the population health level.

There is a lack of knowledge regarding barriers to and enablers of participating in the NBCSP among migrants in Australia. To overcome the barriers and utilise the enablers, there is a need for evidence-based interventions.
Researchers at the Global Health Division are working together with the Indonesian National Institute for Health Research and Development and academic partners at 9 regional universities to help build capacity for implementing the National Sample Vital Registration System.
This study will assess the effects of prolonged bushfire smoke exposure on the physical health, mental health and lifestyle factors of residents of the ACT region.

This project also offers the opportunity to further elucidate the natural history of campylobacteriosis, including examination of recognised and emerging complications and post-infectious sequelae.
This study investigates the ribotype profile of C. difficile organisms infecting a broad spectrum of hospital patients (both symptomatically and asymptomatically) and community members in Queensland and Western Australia, and associated clinical outcomes.
This project, headed up by Prof Don McManus at the QIMR Berghofer Medical Research Institute, aims to 1) monitor and evaluate the National Schistosomiasis Control Programme in 16 sentinel villages in the Dongting and Poyang Lakes areas of the P.R. China 2) use mathematical modelling (Prof Gail Williams (UQ)) to predict future S. japonicum transmission rates and to determine the optimum and most cost-effective schistosomiasis intervention strategies for control to reach the goal of elimination.

Migrants are priority groups for eliminating hepatitis B and C in Australia. To provide equitable access to prevention, testing and treatment for migrants, evidence-based initiatives are needed. This project aims to develop a framework to improve migrants' engagement with viral hepatitis elimination strategies.
This thesis explores how training and learning happen in applied epidemiology training programs.
Understanding CDAD requires considering the effects of the interaction of C. difficile, its toxins, the human immune system, gut flora and antibiotics. Mathematical modelling of these factors can be used to confirm, support or generate new hypotheses.
