0439389ChuThe proposed research develops and examines the efficiency of a novel molecular technique for identification and quantification of waterborne pathogens. A novel view of virulence genes as biomarkers for pathogenic species is proposed and could enable effective molecular quantification of pathogens in water samples. If successful, this study could develop an approach for applying molecular techniques as routine drinking water monitoring tools, and enabling the generation of quantitative data, that is necessary for assessing potential health threats. It is also expected that a new form of dose-response relationship, expressed as copies of virulence genes vs. health risk, will be developed.

0439389 Chuthe提出的研究开发并研究了一种新型分子技术在鉴定和定量水生病原体的效率。 提出了一种毒力基因作为致病物种的生物标志物的新型观点，并可以有效地对水样中的病原体进行分子定量。 如果成功，这项研究可能会开发一种将分子技术作为常规饮用水监测工具的方法，并能够生成定量数据，这是评估潜在健康威胁所必需的。 还可以预期，将开发出一种新形式的剂量反应关系，以毒力基因的副本与健康风险表示。
