I'm so happy with the result of my first review. It has been a good introduction to the genomics and genetic epidemiology of Streptococcus pyogenes. So if you need a similar introduction or an update on the field give it a read. #strepA #Spyogenes

If households are distributed across multiple dwellings (as opposed to a single dwelling), will traditional household-focused interventions still be effective at controlling infectious diseases? Our research published in PeerJ Publishing addresses this question Nic Geard Steven Tong

Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders are at increased risk of severe illness from coronavirus - which is why La Trobe University researchers are part of a team providing modelling support to australiangovernment.
