World Reference Center for Arboviruses.
Abstract
The following objectives were completed: (a) identified and characterized suspected arboviruses from the U.S. and abroad, (b) developed new techniques for virus identification, (c) prepared and distributed reference reagents and PCR protocols and primers, (d) carried out local and international virus surveys. Specific subprojects included (a) nucleotide sequence analysis of flavivirus and arenavirus RNA; (b) developing viral inactivating agents to render clinical samples non-hazardous (c) use of the reagent bank to identify emerging viruses by conventional and molecular methods; (d completing an inventory of the entire collection; (e) making an electronic catalogue of the collection; (f) making plans for moving the collection to the CDC.
