ABOUT US
The Kohl laboratory is primarily interested in Arboviruses. Arboviruses are transmitted by arthropod vectors such as mosquitoes or ticks to susceptible vertebrates. They can cause disease in humans and animals, displaying a variety of symptoms. Most arboviruses group into four RNA virus families, the Flaviviridae, Bunyaviridae, Togaviridae and Reoviridae. Dengue virus (Flaviridae) and chikungunya virus (Togaviridae) are particularly prominent human pathogens. Dengue virus alone causes an important number of human infections each year, and chikungunya virus has recently emerged in the Americas. Among animal pathogens, the Rift Valley fever virus is of particular interest to us.
Our lab consists of 10 highly motivated and enthusiastic researchers from across the globe
