This project improved serological testing capability for ASF in Australia by harmonising quality assurance processes.

This project developed robust whole genome sequencing procedures for the early detection and characterisation of lumpy skin disease and African horse sickness viruses.

Phase 2 of this project developed a curated database of verified genomic viral sequences for notifiable aquatic animal disease viruses in Australia.

The desktop and functional exercises were completed with great success in 2023.

The exercise was completed in 2023. It helped identify ways to improve surge capacity of the Australian animal health laboratory network in response to an emergency animal disease outbreak.

This project helped develop a nationally consistent management approach towards the use of POC tests.

This Australian Centre for Disease Preparedness project developed and characterised an IHC test for the diagnosis and investigation of LSDV infection.

This project redeveloped the CSIRO Sample Tracking and Reporting System (STARS) network.

This project assessed the performance of existing molecular ‘Differentiating Infected from Vaccinated Animals’ (DIVA) assays that are based on real-time, or quantitative, Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR).

This project aims to establish standardised workflows for using HTS in infectious agent discovery. It will support relevant national diagnostic HTS operating guidelines and improve overall quality assurance.
