Reference Laboratories

It is desirable to validate disease diagnosis of all the infectious and contagious diseases. For this purpose the Laboratory system under the Animal Husbandry Department has been modified to a four tier system with the Veterinary dispensary at the grass root level and the Chief disease Investigation Office at the Apex.  

4 Tier systems

  State Disease Diagnostic Laboratory 
 Regional Disease Diagnostic Laboratory (4 Nos.)
(CDIO,Palode; ADDL, Thiruvalla; RP, Palakkad; DIO, Kannur)

 

District Clinical Labs attached to District Veterinary Centre
 (14 Nos.)
 VPC  VH    VD

The clinical tests to be performed at each level laboratory has been finalized for better diagnosis. Preliminary diagnostic test will be performed at the Veterinary Dispensary/Hospital/VPC. The second diagnostic level   will be done at the Clinical lab attached to District Veterinary centres. There is a District disease investigation wing for investigating disease outbreaks. The wing will consist of Chief Veterinary officer, Senior veterinary Surgeon and Veterinary Surgeon of the clinical lab.  The copy of reports has to be submitted to the concerned RDDLs , CDIO (SDDL) and concerned DAHO. The third diagnostic level consists of the Regional Disease Diagnostic Laboratories (RDDL). They are the Chief Disease Investigation Office, Palode; Avian Disease Diagnostic Laboratory, Thiruvalla; Rinder Pest Eradication, Palakkad; Disease Investigation Officer, Kannur. The name of these offices is to be redesignated as Regional Disease Diagnostic Laboratories (RDDL) retaining their existing identity.

The jurisdiction of each RDDL has been fixed with each RDDLs assigned specific districts.

  • CDIO, Palode – Trivandrum & Kollam + state wide jurisdiction
  • ADDL, Thiruvalla – Pathanamthitta, Kottayam, Idukki, Alappuzha
  • RP Lab, Palakkad – Ernakulam, Thrissur, Malappuram, Palakkad
  • DIO, Kannur – Kozhikode, Kannur, Wayanad, Kasargod 

The fourth diagnostic level consist of the state referral lab, Chief Disease Investigation Office. CDIO has been identified as the nodal office Southern Regional Disease Diagnostic laboratory (SRDDL), Bangalore and Collaborating unit of Project Directorate on Animal Disease Monitoring and Surveillance (PD _ ADMAS), Bangalore and  Network Unit of FMD Virus typing all under ICAR. In order to implement the mandates of these institutions , CDIO has been guven the technical control of all the labs. Hence all the 3 RDDLs and 14 Clinical laboratories will be under the technical control of CDIO (SDDL).  The technical officers of CDIO has state wide jurisdiction.
