Since its establishment, the Center for Virology has provided a wide range of virological services using the most advanced diagnostic methods.
The Center consists of several interconnected and coordinated laboratories that offer a range of diagnostic services for the detection and monitoring of viral diseases, both in adults and in children of the Vojvodina population.
Organizational Units of the Center:
1. Department for Molecular Diagnostics
Serological diagnostics of respiratory infections (influenza virus A and B, adenoviruses, parainfluenza virus, respiratory syncytial virus, coronavirus, bocavirus, metapneumovirus, and others), as well as infections caused by the Epstein-Barr virus, arboviruses (West Nile virus, dengue virus, etc.), mycoplasma, and chlamydia pneumoniae.
Detection of arbovirus infections using immunofluorescence testing.
Diagnosis of respiratory syncytial virus infections using rapid immunochromatographic tests.
Formation and maintenance of a serum bank.
Isolation and identification of influenza viruses in embryonated chicken eggs and cell cultures during epidemics and inter-epidemic periods.
Determination of immune status by serological testing of the population against specific types, subtypes, and variants of influenza viruses.
Molecular diagnostics of influenza and other respiratory pathogens during epidemics and inter-epidemic periods, as well as of Epstein-Barr virus and arboviruses (West Nile virus, dengue virus, etc.).
Continuous reporting to the WHO Global Influenza Headquarters on virus circulation in our region throughout the year, and submission of confirmed molecular test samples to the WHO reference laboratory during epidemics.
2. Department for Serological Diagnostics
Maintenance and propagation of cell cultures (primary and continuous lines).
Maintenance of laboratory virus strains on cell cultures.
Serological diagnostics of teratogenic infections caused by rubella virus, cytomegalovirus, herpes viruses (HSV-1, HSV-2, and varicella-zoster virus), parvovirus B19, and the parasite Toxoplasma gondii.
Serological diagnostics of Coxsackieviruses, echoviruses, and enteroviruses.
Serological diagnostics of childhood infections caused by measles virus and mumps virus.
Maintenance of a serum bank.
Diagnosis of viral gastroenterocolitis caused by adenoviruses, rotaviruses, and noroviruses using rapid immunochromatographic tests.
Serological diagnosis of HIV infection.
Serological diagnostics of hepatitis A, B, C, and E viruses, including assessment of infection type (acute, persistent, etc.).
Molecular diagnostics of low- and high-risk types of human papillomaviruses, herpes simplex virus types 1 and 2, cytomegalovirus, hepatitis A, B, and C viruses, HIV, as well as adeno-, rota-, noro-, and astroviruses.
Testing for viruses in surface waters (adeno-, rota-, noro-, enteroviruses, and hepatitis A) using molecular diagnostics.
The Center for Virology employs medical doctors specializing in microbiology, subspecialists in virology, professors and assistants from the Faculty of Medicine in Novi Sad, as well as doctors undergoing specialization in medical microbiology. The team also includes PhDs in biological sciences, senior laboratory technicians, laboratory technicians, and chemical technicians. Through well-organized teamwork, the Center annually processes about 25,000 clinical samples and around 300 environmental samples, performing approximately 100,000 virological analyses using the latest serological, immunodiagnostic, and molecular tests.
Serological and immunodiagnostic tests monitor the antibody response of the immune system when exposed to viral antigens, including viral infections and immunizations. The serological testing laboratories at the Center perform enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISA), enzyme-linked fluorescent assays (ELFA), chemiluminescent immunoassays (CLIA), and confirmatory tests (Western Blot) for detecting pathogens or specific IgA/IgM antibodies, which can be identified soon after disease onset, as well as IgG antibodies that appear later and usually indicate past infection and immunity.
The Center for Virology is routinely involved in the diagnosis and assessment of the immune status of the Vojvodina population against:
Rapid immunochromatographic tests include identification of viral antigens in patient samples or infected cell cultures using virus-specific reagents with labeled antibodies. These tests are used to detect Rotaviruses, Noroviruses, Astroviruses, Adenoviruses, Respiratory syncytial virus, and Influenza A and B viruses. They are particularly suitable for field or emergency situations requiring rapid diagnosis and enable laboratory confirmation and surveillance of acute respiratory or viral gastroenteritis outbreaks.
The Cell Culture Laboratory provides the capability to isolate viruses from clinical samples using continuous cell lines (MDCK, Vero, RD, and HEP-2), which support replication of various clinically relevant viruses (Influenza, Herpes simplex, Enteroviruses, Adenoviruses, etc.). Based on the sample type, characteristic cytopathic effect (visible cell changes occurring in response to viral infection), and the type of cell culture, preliminary identification of the virus can be performed. The presence of a specific virus is confirmed through immunodiagnostic testing.
In the Molecular Diagnostics Laboratory, highly specific and sensitive real-time PCR tests are conducted for diagnosing viral diseases through detection and characterization of viral and non-viral nucleic acids. The advantages of this method include precision, reproducibility, minimal risk of false-positive results, and short turnaround time. The main focus of this laboratory is the detection of:
The Center for Virology has been recognized by the World Health Organization (WHO) as the National Influenza Center (NIC) since 1953. NIC Novi Sad is part of the WHO Global Influenza Surveillance Network, responsible for continuous virological surveillance of influenza virus activity among the population of Vojvodina. For many years, surveillance was carried out by isolating influenza viruses from respiratory samples using embryonated chicken eggs and performing antigenic typing of isolates with reference antisera. Serological monitoring of influenza immunity levels in the Vojvodina population was also conducted. In 2010, traditional laboratory influenza diagnostics, based on virus isolation and serological testing, was enhanced by the introduction of molecular diagnostics. Since then, influenza diagnosis has been performed using real-time PCR testing for typing Influenza A and B viruses and subtyping Influenza A ((H1N1)09pdm, H3N2, H1N1, H5N1, and H7N9) and B (Victoria and Yamagata) viruses. In recent years, NIC Novi Sad has maintained active cooperation with the WHO Collaborating Centre for Reference and Research on Influenza (CCRR) in London. NIC Novi Sad participates annually in the WHO External Quality Assurance Program (EQAP), established to monitor the performance quality of NIC laboratories conducting influenza PCR diagnostics, ensuring test accuracy and reliability.
