Viral Pathology
The Viral Pathology team has 35 years of experience working on the study of viruses that affect all types of aquaculture animals and the natural aquatic environment. Its researchers are experts in the detection and characterization of fish, mollusc, crustacean, amphibian and reptile viruses, as well as in the design of advanced diagnostic techniques, vaccine development, study of virulence factors and virus-host interaction, search and evaluation of antiviral agents, and viral epidemiology.
