We offer a 5 day training session to colleagues from endemic regions. Participants will visit the Viroscience clinical virology lab, where they will perform all required laboratory and analysis procedures for the quantification rabies virus and neutralizing antibodies. Special attention will be given to biosafety, quality control, assay validation, data processing and interpretation of the results. The training will address , the basic principles of rabies virus detection by PCR and quantification of neutralization antibodies by combining lectures, demonstrations and hands-on training.The training will enable the trainees to introduce the tests in their own lab. To ensure this, the training is 100% tailor made. Trainees will be asked in advance to make photos of their own laboratory including the equipment they have to their disposal. During the course this will enable the trainers to translate protocols to their local situation and improve local rabies diagnostics.
