Through national and international collaborations, AusGEM connects scientists across primary industry, government, and public health sectors, whose multidisciplinary expertise is deepening our understanding of interactions between hosts and pathogens and pathogen evolution and transmission across plants, animals, and humans.<\/p>\n
These partnerships support global research efforts to develop better strategies for managing public health challenges and contribute to a growing science base for best practice in protecting the world\u2019s people and natural resources.<\/p>\n
