Researchers will develop a highly sensitive test to diagnose Bartonella bacteria, associated with a wide spectrum of debilitating diseases in cats and other species.
Researchers will isolate novel antimicrobials from natural products, including plants, and test their ability to inhibit bacteria growth responsible for urinary tract infections.
Researchers will evaluate two types of rabies vaccines to determine any effect on the resistance to unrelated infectious and parasitic diseases, and if this effect differs between males and females.
Researchers will conduct a clinical trial evaluating an adjunct treatment for koalas receiving antimicrobial therapy for chlamydia, a wide-spread and potentially fatal disease in this species.
