VIASEF & Insectaries

VIASEF is a high-security infrastructure ACL3 (Class III Containment Laboratory for Arthropods) that offers the academic, scientific, and business communities the possibility of carrying out in vivo studies with arthropod vectors of disease-causing agents.

This laboratory facility also complies with the norms of the 3rd level of microbiological containment, having safe conditions to develop projects with pathogens, from biological risk 1 to risk 3, such as multiresistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis strains or viruses such as Chikungunya, Dengue, Zika, Coronaviridae.
