Laboratory for Epidemiology of Enteroviral Infections
The lab is engaged in viral hepatitis, rotaviral, and coronaviral infections studies. Main R&D activities are epidemiologic studies and improvement of surveillance of viral hepatitis and viral diarrhea, epidemiologic monitoring of these infections are performed. Recommendations on the reduction of these infections morbidity are issued. The methods for isolation, indication and identification of viral hepatitis and diarrhea agents are developed and upgraded, these pathogens are monitored. The research is also focused on the design, manufacture and implementation of diagnostic, therapeutic and preventive preparations for the above infections. The lactoimmunoglobulin preparation for urgent prophylaxis and treatment of rotaviral infection, lactoimmunoglobulin and hyperimmune milk against viral hepatitis A have been developed and produced in the Lab. The lactoimmunoglobulin for prophylaxis and treatment of coronaviral infections is developing at the present time.
