AGES opens new high-security zoonosis lab in Mödling
Published
AGES, the Austrian Agency for Health and Food Safety, has opened a new high-security laboratory for zoonoses in Mödling, with 2,200 square metres of space. The lab handles dangerous pathogens such as SARS-CoV-2 and rabies (Tollwut), which can pass from animals to people. The news was first reported by austria.com on 11 November 2026.
Zoonoses are diseases that pass between animals and people. This makes the lab relevant to human and animal health in Austria.
The report does not say when research at the lab will start, how many staff will work there or what it costs. Readers can follow AGES for further updates on the lab's work.
