Biological and Genetic Characterisation of Animal Pathogens
Implementation of planned tasks will make it possible:
The obtained experimental data will allow to improve the existing means of laboratory diagnostics and specific prophylaxis for viral infections as well as to construct vaccines and diagnosticals of a new generation to meet the requirements of Kazakhstani stock breeding.
The project financing will favour the recurrent refreshment and maintenance of strains in natural hosts with simultaneous study of their genetics, genetic stability and gene mapping of the major strains of microorganisms of practical importance. Biological characteristics of some virulent and attenuated strains and isolates of microorganisms will be studied.
The project work will allow to maintain and elaborate the unique microbial type culture collection of SRAI under conditions of social and economical difficulties of the state, to make the bank work at SRAI meeting contemporary requirements. Moreover, the research work according to the proposed project will result in replenishment of nomenclature and characteristics of strains of existing microbial catalogue and in integration of information on strains to international interchange.
