Cadham Provincial laboratory (CPL) provides a range of services, including public health laboratory services and reference services for identification and typing of microorganisms. CPL data contain information regarding various tests and screens in Manitoba in the areas of Microbiology, Serology and Parasitology, and Virology as well as patient and clinical information related to each test.
NOTE: The CPL data provides information from 1992/93 to July 2010. The CPL laboratory data is continued, from August 2009 forward, in the CPL - Laboratory Information Management System (LIMS) database. |
Services provided include: - Microbiology - programs include enteric program, outbreak and food-borne illness investigation, provincial STI screening, prenatal screening, respiratory program (e.g., Legionella), emerging resistance screening, and molecular diagnostics and epidemiology;
- Serology and Parasitology - programs include prenatal screening (e.g., rubella, HIV), STI serological screening (e.g. HIV, syphilis, HBV), transplant donors/recipient screening, vector-borne diseases (e.g., WNV, Western Equine Encephalitis) and parasitology. All serology and parasitology is exclusively human in origin;
