Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In this study, simple diagnostic methods were developed for zoonoses, such as hantavirus infections, tick-borne encephalitis, and West Nile fever, which are severe and fatal diseases, and are considered as major problems in many countries. ELISA and immunochromatography were developed to detect anti-hantavirus antibodies in various rodents. ELISA systems using viral-like particles (SPs) of tick-borne encephalitis virus conjunctive with IgG and Strep-tag were established. A stable reverse genetics system for West Nile virus was developed by using homologous recombination.
