Research program influenza

In the diagnosis is the development of rapid detection systems for a variety of influenza viruses in humans and animals is needed. The existing nucleic acid-based detection methods should be improved and made universally applicable, in order to demonstrate not only of influenza virus subtype H5, but all 16 H and 9 N subtypes to allow. In parallel, antibody detection systems to develop a nationwide sero-monitoring, especially in wildlife reservoir permit. At the same time, rapid application to be brought to a swift and safe differentiation between low and high pathogenic avian influenza viruses permit. For the research department continues to be a hedge of the required tasks necessary reference, in addition to the time-consuming and costly production and delivery of reference materials, the collection includes samples of reference.
