SUAT Research Service has been developed several lines of research related to the diagnosis of animal viruses (African swine fever, classical swine fever, African horse sickness, bluetongue…) And risk analysis of possible entry and spread of infectious diseases in our country (in addition to those mentioned above, also foot & mouth disease, West Nile, avian flu) The group also develops the tasks of the reference laboratory for the OIE to African swine fever and African horse sickness, and has extensive experience in the management of these and other diseases such as classical swine fever. He also actively collaborates with OIE, FAO, OIRSA, DG SANCO and EFSA.
The scientific interest of the service focuses on the study of infectious diseases in animals and in particular the development of new diagnostic techniques, new generation vaccines and new strategies for their control through risk analysis and modeling, as well as establishment of networks for health monitoring.
