  • Title: The role and importance of veterinary laboratories in the prevention and control of infectious diseases of animals.
    Author: Truszczyński MJ.
    Journal: Rev Sci Tech; 1998 Aug; 17(2):405-10. PubMed ID: 9713885.
    Abstract:
    Veterinary laboratories which deal with infectious diseases form three groups according to the tasks for which they are responsible. The first group includes central or national veterinary laboratories, national or international reference laboratories, high-security laboratories, district regional or state veterinary diagnostic laboratories. The major role of these laboratories is to assist national Veterinary Services in diagnosing infectious animal diseases. The second group comprises laboratories that produce veterinary diagnostic kits and those that produce veterinary vaccines. The third group is composed of veterinary research laboratories, which generally concentrate on basic research and do not contribute directly to the diagnosis and control of infectious animal diseases. The author describes the objectives of each of the three groups of laboratories.
