Critical Solutions for established and emerging viral pathogens

The globalization of trade and travel has mediated the spread of viruses throughout the world, leading to significant disease among humans, plants, and animals. In recent years, we’ve seen the emergence of numerous pathogens, including Middle East respiratory syndrome-related coronavirus (MERS-CoV), pandemic Influenza A virus (H1N1), Zika virus, and Severe acute respiratory syndrome-related coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), the causative agent of COVID-19.

The dangers of emerging pathogens are elevated by the limited availability or complete lack of diagnostic assays, vaccines, and effective antiviral therapies. Virologists who are dedicated to this research need high-quality materials to make progress.

The ATCC virology collection offers more than 2,000 viruses and associated reagents, including animal viruses, plant viruses, and bacteriophages. Our seed stock system ensures that every preparation made by ATCC is as close as possible to the original culture deposit.

We established our collection in 1958 to support your critical research. As continuous outbreaks of established and emerging pathogens spur the need for scientific advances, ATCC remains committed to providing you with superior biomaterials to give you the best chance for success.
