Immunoprophylaxis of vector-borne and respiratory viral diseases


Our laboratory is dedicated to the study and development of methods to control diseases caused by arboviruses (arthropod-borne viruses) and respiratory viruses. Since human and animal health are closely related, interdependent and linked to the ecosystems in which we coexist, the work of the group is framed within the concept of "One Health" (). Various arboviruses such as RVFV, BTV, CCHFV and respiratory viruses such as Influenza or Coronavirus are relevant examples of the interaction between animals and humans.
