AAHL is a highly specialised facility that was designed and built for working with the most contagious and deadly of animal and human infectious diseases. Scientists at AAHL first identified and characterised the deadly Hendra virus, which like ebolaviruses is classified as a ‘biosafety level four pathogen’- the most dangerous of viruses without a known cure or vaccine. The team has since been integral in the development of the Hendra virus vaccine for horses, now being administered to protect horses, and as a result people, in Australia.
AAHL, located in Geelong, is one of a handful of high-containment laboratories in the world capable of working on ‘biosafety level four’ pathogens. The facility was built to ensure the containment of the most infectious agents known and ensure our researchers can safely work with these agents. It is designed and equipped to enable the safe handling of disease agents such as ebolavirus and Hendra virus, at the necessary high containment level.
