Diagnostic Virology
The Diagnostic Virology section of the
Animal Health Centre (AHC) began in 1972 with the purchase of an
egg incubator for isolation of avian viruses. Since that time,
this section has been expanded to include routine virus
detection of over eighty pathogens in domestic poultry, ratites,
wild and exotic birds, food and fur bearing animals, companion
animals, marine mammals, wild and zoological species, and
aquaculture salmonids. The Virology section of the AHC offers one
of the most extensive and complete services available in Canada.
The Virology section endeavours to provide the very best
services available and to stay at the forefront of Veterinary
diagnostics by developing or utilizing new diagnostic tests for
both common and emerging pathogens.
All of the personnel have a minimum of 10 years of experience in
diagnostic virology.
