The basic directions of scientific researches:
- Studying of human and animal pathogenic viruses circulating in nature in vertebrates and arthropods (arboviruses, including tick-borne encephalitis virus, rabies virus, hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome virus, morbilliviruses);
- Serological monitoring of arboviruses circulating at Eastern Siberia territory;
- Studying of anthropogenous transformation effect on natural foci of virus infections at Baikal Region;
- Maintenance, replenishment and studying of viruses, pathogenic for humans and animals.
Practical opportunities:
- Indication of the causative agent and laboratory diagnostics of especially dangerous virus infections in relation with problems of sanitary protection of territories;
- Field investigations to detect natural focal virus infections at Siberia and Far East;
- Rendering the advisory and practical assistance to Public Health Services in organization and carrying out virological and serological investigations for decoding of infectious disease etiology;
- Training of specialists (doctors and biologists) on laboratory diagnostics of virus infections;
- Rendering the advisory methodical assistance to Public Health Services on the problems of natural focal virus infections, sanitary protection of territories, biological safety of working with viruses of II-IV pathogenicity groups.
