  The Mahidol-Osaka Center for Infectious Diseases (MOCID) focuses on several tropical infectious diseases that are of importance to human health in Thailand. Mosquito-borne viral infectious diseases such as dengue fever/dengue hemorrhagic fever and chikungunya fever are of particular interest. We are currently developing rapid diagnosis kits and are examining factors that affect disease severity. We would like to improve the research skills of young scientists and increase their interest in infectious diseases by collaborating with Mahidol University, which provides clinical samples.
