The National Reference Center for Emerging Viral Diseases (CRIVE/NAVI) is a national reference laboratory by order of the Federal Office of Public Health. Its task is the detection of emerging and re-emerging viruses of all biosafety levels, especially hemorrhagic fever viruses and smallpox virus. The BSL4 unit is approved for diagnostic purposes only, which does not allow any culturing or enrichment of such viruses. The National Reference Center for Emerging Viral Diseases is part of the Laboratory of Virology (LV) at the University Hospitals of Geneva. Since January 1st, 2018, the CRIVE acts also as WHO National Center for Measles and Rubella.
Since the beginning of 2020, the CRIVE has been performing about 200’000 SARS-CoV-2 screening PCR and many thousands serologies. Currently, the CRIVE also performs Sanger and NGS sequencing on SARS-CoV-2 genomes for identification of “UK and South Africa” mutants.
The LV performs the analysis of many viruses impacting the human health as done in most of the hospitals (HIV, Hepatitis, CMV, EBV, respiratory and enteric viruses, etc.). LV does most of the viral analysis needed by an university hospital.
LV also hosts the Swiss National Center for Influenza.
