Zoology: The branch of biology that deals with animals and animal life, including the study of the structure, physiology, development, and classification of animals.
Assessment of how changes in husbandry affect an animal can be challenging as most common methods of assessment, such as corticosterone levels, are more reliable for assessment of acute stres...
There is a growing debate about the usefulness of animal studies in biomedical research and drug development. Some of the challenges in translation from animals to human patients may be from...
Nonterminal blood collection from mice is frequently performed in biomedical research. Multiple phlebotomy sites and restraint techniques are available to investigators. Methods that minimize...
The aerodigestive tract is a combination of the respiratory tract and the upper portion of the digestive tract. As these two organ systems share many of the necessary structures used for swal...
Compassion Fatigue can affect all those that care for and work with laboratory animals, including husbandry staff, veterinary staff, researchers, and other support staff. It is known as the &...
Introduction:The cannulation of the cisterna magna in the rat is a valuable model for in-vivo sampling of cerebrospinal fluid for studying delivery of new drugs into the central nervous sys...
The ability to rapidly and accurately identify pain in mice is critical for providing them optimal care and welfare. To meet this need, we developed and validated the Grooming Transfer Test (...
This session will explore the interpretation of multi-species scattergrams in normal and pathologic conditions. Numerous case studies will be reviewed....
Tuberculosis (TB) is the No.1 cause of death due to a single infectious agent in the world today. According to the global report from World Health Organization, one third of world population...
Conspecific aggression is a common problem amongst laboratory housed male mice. While C57BL/6 are not the most aggressive strain we house, they are exceedingly common, and dealing with...
Welfare First, a programme developed to recognise the importance of welfare within the life sciences sector and to meet the aims of its position statement. Animal welfare is a priority,...
There is a considerable interest and need for evidence-based recommendations regarding the social housing of laboratory rabbits. This presentation will review the principles surrounding the s...
A panel of experts will discuss recent advances and current challenges for the successful development and application of human tissue for drug screening, tissue replacement and eventually org...
Clinical microbiology has experienced an unprecedented wave of innovation due to the introduction of advanced testing such as PCR, MALDI-TOF, and PNA-FISH. The wave of new technologies...
Plant viruses cause significant damage in terms of reduction in quality and quantity of yield in a wide range of crop plants worldwide. The majority of plant viruses are transmitted from one...
Genome sequencing can be used to discover new pathogens but it can also be used to monitor known ones. This is known as genomic surveillance and it becoming an increasingly important tool in...
An unbiased metagenomic next-generation approach (mNGS) been shown to be useful in the broad identification of pathogens in clinical samples for infectious disease diagnosis, including viruse...
Males and females differ in their immunological responses to viral and vaccine antigens, with females typically mounting higher immune responses than males. These sex-based immunological diff...
The human large intestine houses trillions of microorganisms which collectively form the highly diverse microbial community known as the gut microbiota. The gut microbiota performs many funct...
Quinolones are one the most commonly prescribed classes of antibacterials in the world and are used to treat a broad variety of Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacterial infections in humans....
A rapidly growing number of viruses of lower eukaryotes have been reported in the past few decades. These have enhanced our understanding of virus evolution and diversity. Simultaneously, som...
INTRODUCTION: The recent coincidental emergence of the human microbiota and the Hologneomic Theory of Co-evolution unmasked the “Dual Citizenship” of symbiotic microbes and...
Clostridium difficile is a major pathogen responsible for infectious diarrhea in healthcare settings. This presentation will review the data from a study comparing the new Simplexa® C. di...
The global threat of antimicrobial resistance has been recognized by the World Health Organization, the United Nations and many other expert bodies. The burden of resistant pathogens is immen...
