Veterinary biobank

IZSVe biobank samples

The Istituto Zooprofilattico Sperimentale delle Venezie (IZSVe) biobank has the aim to centrally store biological samples collected through the years by the national and international reference laboratories, e.g. the WOAH / FAO reference centre for Avian influenza and Newcastle disease and the FAO reference centre for Rabies.

The IZSVe Veterinary Biobank stores biological material of high quality standards and scientific value collected during animal disease surveillance programs and outbreaks. Each sample is univocally identified, traced and maintained.

You can search the samples stored in the IZSVe Biobanks using the website of the WOAH collaborating centre for veterinary biologicals biobank: http://biowarehouse.net
