Research

We are researching pig diseases that are currently of interest and under discussion. Exemplary pathogens are PRRSV, PCV2, porcine influenza virus and Clamydia spp. 

Close cooperation with other institutions of the Vetmeduni, the animal health services, other non-university institutions and practicing colleagues is of great importance to us.
