The Pirbright Institute, founded in 1914, is based in Woking, UK. The institute specializes in preventing and controlling viral diseases of livestock and those that spread from animals to people. The British company's facilities and capabilities provide opportunities for collaboration with other institutes and industries in research, data analysis, training, and access to some areas on-site. The institute offers a range of products, including positive sera, inactivated antigens, diagnostic kits, viral cultures, and live midges. The non-profit company's high containment facilities are internationally groundbreaking in design and maintenance, and they provide consultancy in architecture, engineering, and highly specialized expertise in risk and assurance. The diagnostic development team works with the world reference laboratory for foot-and-mouth disease at the Pirbright Institute and external partners to provide diagnostic products for foot-and-mouth disease (FMD), swine vesicular disease (SVD), and peste des petit ruminants (PPR).
