This five-day course includes two modules that can be attended separately. In the first module (Ref-SKU: 011S-02851), the basic principles of routine virus typing that can be used for hospital epidemiology and public health will be addressed by a combination of lectures, demonstration and hands-on training. Participants will visit the Viroscience clinical virology lab, where they will perform all required laboratory and analysis procedures for routine typing of viruses.

In this 3-day course the basic principles of serological testing against ARBO viruses will be addressed by a combination of lectures, demonstration and hands-on training. Participants will visit the Viroscience clinical virology lab, where they will perform all laboratory techniques including ELISA, Immunofluorescence and virus neutralization. Attention will be given to serological testing in cerebrospinal fluid, including the calculation of an antibody index.

Access to the BSL-3 facility including equipment and personal protective equipment, theoretical and practical training; preparation and evaluation of the BSL-3 work; BSL-3 virus collection as predefined within the project of the end user; personal support for performing specifically designed experiments; expert supervision.

Institut Pasteur Paris - Access to BSL 3 containment facility. The access will comprise a detailed theoretical and practical application of different methods to grow lyssaviruses: strain isolation from clinical sample, virus adaptation to cell culture and Virus titration Access to BSL 3 containment facility.

Institut Pasteur Paris - General description of the RFFIT and required skills and equipment. Preparation of cells, sera and titrated virus. Read-out of the results and interpretation.

Institut Pasteur Paris - General description of fluorecent antibody tets (FAT), virus isolation, lateral flow device in the context of rabies diagnosis and surveillance. Practical training in these technique in BSL3.

Institut Pasteur Paris - In this 2 weeks course the basic principles of routine virus typing will be addressed by a combination of lectures, demonstration and hands-on training. Participants will perform all required laboratory and analysis procedures for routine typing of lyssaviruses: Special attention will be given to quality control and assay validation.

In this 3-day course the basic principles of routine virus typing will be addressed by a combination of lectures, demonstration and hands-on training. Participants will visit the Viroscience clinical virology lab, where they will perform all required laboratory and analysis procedures for routine typing of viruses. Typing of enteroviruses will be used as an example, but the general procedures are applicable to typing of other viruses also. After this course participants should have sufficient knowledge to introduce routine typing of viruses in their own laboratory.

Access to UL infrastructure for learning/training on techniques related to virus isolation and characterization.
