BSL – your partner in animal disease diagnostics and surveillance

Queensland’s Biosecurity Sciences Laboratory (BSL) provides world-class testing and diagnostics for animal pests and diseases of terrestrial and aquatic livestock, bees and wildlife.  

The laboratory accepts samples and conducts fully subsidised testing from any animal that presents a significant biosecurity risk to animal or human health. The focus is testing for diseases that impact commercial livestock, aquatic animals, bees and wildlife. 

In addition to monitoring and diagnosing animal diseases, BSL provides animal disease testing for health, accreditation, and export purposes. Service charges apply in these circumstances.
