Scientific and Research Work:

Basic Research interest:

• Veterinary virology, food and environmental virology, vector-borne infections, management of animal and medical waste.

Main working and research activities:

• detection of animal viral diseases by classical laboratory methods (ELISA, IH, VN);
• detection of animal viral diseases by molecular diagnostic tests (PCR, RT-PCR, real-time PCR);
• detection of viruses in environment (environmental virology), in vectors and in wild animals,
• molecular characterization of the viruses detected in animals, vectors and environment,
• management of medical and animal waste
