Summary
Analysis of stakeholder knowledge, attitudes and perceptions of Q fever in Australia.
Objectives
The aim of this study was to use expert opinion to better understand how large Q fever outbreaks might occur in an Australian context and to document factors believed to be drivers of disease transmission.
Key findings
Findings from this study highlight that outbreaks are complex phenomena that involve the convergence of diverse elements, not just that of the pathogen and host, but also the physical, political and socioeconomic environments in which they interact.
Benefits to industry
Approaches to prevent and manage Q fever outbreaks will require a multisectorial approach and strengthening of community engagement in outbreak mitigation and response.
MLA action
Industry support.
Future research
MLA will continue supporting under/postgraduates to work on industry’s complex problems by providing opportunities for them to enter the red meat industry.
