Doctor of Philosophy

Annika Marie Suttie

Title: The molecular epidemiology of Influenza in Cambodia.

Abstract: This thesis investigated the circulation of avian influenza viruses in Cambodia and showed that interventions are needed to mitigate the threat avian influenza poses to agriculture and public health sectors.
