The Viral and Rickettsial Disease Laboratory (VRDL) provides laboratory support, technical assistance, and research required for the diagnosis, investigation, and control of viral diseases and for the development and maintenance of high quality local viral laboratory services in California. VRDL also provides consultation services to the staff of local public health laboratories, State Department of Health Services, and other state agencies. For counties not having available public health laboratory services, VRDL functions as the reference and local public health laboratory in its field of expertise.
