The laboratory is guided by the methodological
principles laid down by its founder, Professor
Isaak Yosypovich Kulesco:
Areas of scientific research:
- study of the driving forces of the epizootic process through
experimental and epizootological research of the factors of emergence and counteraction to them in:
• transboundary infections of pigs (African and classical swine fever, viral vesicular diseases, including foot-and-mouth disease, vesicular exanthema, vesicular stomatitis, etc.)
• reproductive and neonatal infections of pigs (Auesky's disease, PRRS, CVIS-2, PVIS, swine influenza in association with each other and/or with pasteurellosis, actino- and hemobacillosis, mycoplasmosis, anaerobic dysentery, listeriosis, etc.)
• neuroinfections of pigs (Teschen's disease, viral encephalomyocarditis - "edematous disease", listeriosis, etc.) - study of protective properties pathogens of emerging diseases of pigs and competitive properties of the microbiome and other environmental factors;
- development, improvement and testing of means and systems of biological protection of pig farming in the direction of reducing its "antibiotic dependence" based on the creation and testing of:
•diagnostic, vaccine, phage and chemotherapeutic and disinfectant means
•risk analysis systems and rapid response to the emergence and spread of viral diseases of pigs of various etiologies
•standards on biosafety of pig farming and the human food chain - preclinical and clinical testing of veterinary drugs:
•veterinary drug Amiksin.
Areas of expertise: epidemiology, virology, microbiology, testing of means and measures to combat infectious diseases of pigs (classical and African swine fever, Aujeszky's disease, Teschen, viral encephalomyocarditis-edematous disease ("nervous" form), listeriosis, porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome, circovirus and parvovirus infections of pigs, viral diarrhea, including epidemic diarrhea of pigs, and their associated infections with pasteurellosis, actinobacillary pleuropneumonia, neisseria, hemophilus polyserositis, etc. ("antibiotic-resistant forms of bacterial infections of pigs"), as well as with bacterial diseases (brucellosis, campylobacteriosis, chlamydia, salmonellosis, tuberculosis, colibacteriosis, etc.).
