-Epidemiology Research

The epidemiology of infectious diseases is a central area of research and involves both descriptive surveys, methodologic work on issues of transmission, and research into acute and chronic effects of infection.
|
Infectious agents of particular interest are viral infections during childhood, Epstein-Barr virus and other herpes virus, RSV, hepatitis virus, human papillomaviruses and retroviruses (HIV-1, HIV-2, HTLV-1). |
| Furthermore, major ongoing studies focus on issues related to the spread of foodborne diseases, diarrhoeal diseases, and upper and lower respiratory infections. |
