Neuro Virology

Neuro virology is a multidisciplinary area that combines molecular biology, immunology, clinical neuroscience, and virology. The study of viruses that can infect the neurological system is the primary focus of the field. Additionally, the discipline investigates the use of viruses for gene therapy, eradicating undesirable populations of brain cells, and tracing neuroanatomical circuits.It also covers the diagnosis, epidemiology, and creation of particular antiviral drugs for disease treatment of viral infections of the CNS.

A good illustration of the latter is the usage of acyclovir to treat herpes simplex encephalitis. As a result, it is a field that has a lot to do with both human disease and many elements of neurology. Neurovirological investigations from both the clinical and fundamental levels occasionally produce complementary data.

Specific laboratory methods that used in neurovirology are as follows:

  • Tissue culture of the nervous system
  • Virus isolation
  • Electron microscopy
  • Serological analyses
  • Viral antigen detection
  • PCR in situ amplification
