The Diagnostic Center for Population and Animal Health at MSU is the only comprehensive animal health diagnostic center in Michigan.
Built in 2004, the center brings together 10 separate labs under one roof and performs more than 1 million diagnostic tests a year.
Working in collaboration with the state of Michigan, the center serves as the first line of defense against an array of diseases that can affect both humans and animals, including rabies, bovine tuberculosis, West Nile virus and chronic wasting disease.
The center is used by the Michigan departments of Agriculture and Natural Resources, as well as private veterinary practitioners and animal owners throughout the Midwest.
