The maximum containment facility at QHFSS, a state government public health virology laboratory, has both a diagnostic and a research function. The maximum containment facilities are used for the development and performance of diagnostic tests on patients with suspected exotic or endemic viral illness. This includes Henipah viruses or exotic haemorrhagic fever viruses. The only PC4 level pathogen that the laboratory has is Hendra virus, which is used for diagnostic purposes. The laboratory maintains the capacity to perform diagnostic testing for a number of exotic viral diseases including Ebola, Marburg, Lassa, Junin, Rift Valley fevers and Hantavirus among others. The reagents utilised for these purposes may consist of either inactivated diagnostic reagents, cloned viral subunits or live virus.
