	Application of PCR to rapidly identify pathogenic bacteria of veterinary significance
	This project is a strategic move to upgrade the molecular microbiological capacity of the Regional Veterinary Laboratory, Menangle. This involves using molecular techniques to more quickly and reliably identify microbial pathogens either after culture from specimens or directly in specimens.
	Australian Citrus Improvement Program - indexing
	The Australian Citrus Improvement Program is an industry driven program aimed at enhancing the productivity and profitability of the Australian Citrus Industry. This component of the program involves checking the health status of citrus germplasm and maintaining this germplasm as a source of propagation material.
	Benefits of recycled organics in agriculture
	The project promotes strategic use of recycled organics products in agriculture by firstly identifying the potential markets (in terms of crop/soil systems) and secondly quantifying benefits by carrying field trials and cost/benefit analyses.
	Biology of Bovine Pestiviruses (BVDV)
	Pestiviruses are considered to be the most important viral pathogens of cattle in Australia. They cause conception failure, abortion, stillbirth, illthrift and death. Many of the severe strains of BVDV present in Nth America (and all Type 2 strains) are exotic. This project seeks to genotype a broad range of Australian viruses to confirm our unique status globally. Tracking changes in antigens will assist future vaccine development and selection.
	Bonamia species of Sydney rock and NSW flat oysters
	Protozoal parasites of the genus Bonamia cause mortalities in farmed oysters throughout the world. The aim of this project is to elucidate the role of antipodean Bonamia species in oyster mortalities in NSW.
	Bovine Herpesvirus Typing
	It is believed that Australia is free of strains of IBR virus that cause abortion in cattle. This project aims to confirm that position by typing viruses from all over Australia.
	Bovine Johne's Disease - pooled faecal culture
	This project is seeking to complete validation of a herd-based pooled faecal culture test for cattle, with emphasis on test performance in cattle shedding low levels of M. avium subsp. paratuberculosis.
	Centre for Recycled Organics in Agriculture
	This project provides support start-up salary and operating funds for the initial three year operating period for the Centre for Recycled Organics in Agriculture field research site.
	Commercialisation of the small hive beetle harbourage device
	This project aims to engage a commercial partner to manufacture and market the harbourage. Field efficacy and residue trials will be conducted to support product registration with the APVMA.
	Cross protection against orange stem pitting CTV.
	New mild strains of CTV are required immediately to protect Queensland’s sweet orange industry against orange stem pitting (OSP), and to protect other sectors of the Australian industry, thereafter. This project will identify the best isolate(s) for this role and develop and validate methods to diagnose OSP and evaluate the number and range of OSP isolates in the field. It will investigate the mechanism of cross protection, which may streamline the selection of new pre-immunising isolates in t
