A lab that explores how to prevent and control infectious diseases in animals.
AboutAbout the lab
How to control infectious diseases in animals
The Infection Control Lab studies how to control infectious diseases in the veterinary field.
Because measures against infectious diseases differ depending on the animals involved, such as pets, livestock, laboratory animals, and wildlife, the lab deals with a wide range of issues.
The lab pursues basic research for infection control, including the detection of pathogens, analysis of the process from infection to the onset of disease, and vaccines for prevention.
Based on the idea of One Health, which holds that human health, animal health, and environmental conservation are all connected, the lab aims to return its research results to society.
Key terms
- Slow infection
- An infectious disease in which symptoms appear only after a long period has passed since infection with the pathogen
- Papillomavirus
- A group of viruses that infect the skin and mucous membranes and cause conditions such as papillomas (warts). Some types are linked to cancer
- One Health
- An approach that treats human health, animal health, and environmental conservation as a single whole when addressing problems
ResearchResearch themes
Under the theme of how to control infectious diseases in the veterinary field, the lab carries out basic research for infection control, including the detection of pathogens, analysis of the disease processes leading from infection to the onset of disease, and vaccines for prevention. The lab studies slow infections, including those caused by cancer-causing viruses, as well as papillomaviruses.
*Illustrative imageVirus-induced cancers and slow infections
The lab investigates the mechanisms by which slow infections, which cause disease only after a long period following infection, lead to the onset of disease, including those caused by cancer-causing viruses.
*Illustrative imageResearch on controlling infectious diseases
This research focuses on controlling infectious diseases in animals, such as through vaccines and disinfection methods. It deals with infection control measures that differ depending on the animals involved, such as pets and livestock.
*Illustrative imageInvestigating the properties of papillomaviruses
The lab studies papillomaviruses, which cause conditions such as papillomas, examining the properties of the viruses and their involvement in disease in animals ranging from small to large.
*Illustrative imageDeveloping methods for detecting pathogens
The lab works on developing methods for detecting the pathogens that cause infectious diseases. Pathogen detection is a foundation of infection control research, alongside the analysis of the process leading to disease onset and vaccines.
