The Research Fellow will collaborate with researchers at the Australian Centre for Disease Preparedness (ACDP, CSIRO), as well as international colleagues in Japan and North America, to improve an existing model for the spread of Cyvirus cyprinidallo3 (also known as Cyprinid Herpes Virus or CyHV-3) as a biocontrol agent for common carp in Australia. The modelling will serve as part of the scientific basis for a decision from the Parliament of Australia as to whether the virus will be introduced into Australian populations of common carp.
