A Survey on the Gastrointestinal Parasites of Rabbit and Guinea Pig in a Laboratory Animal House
There is documented evidence that infection in laboratory animals can often influence the outcome of experiments. All infections, apparent or inapparent, are likely to increase biological variability. As a research project concerning the diversity and distribution of parasites of rabbit and guinea pig in a conventional laboratory animal house, about 87 rabbits (from 700 ) and 105 guinea pigs (f...
متن کاملBreeding of the northern grasshopper mouse (Onychomys leucogaster) as a laboratory animal.
Laboratory matings were attempted to establish breeding colonies of Northern grasshopper mice, Onychomys leucogaster (which were captured in New Mexico, U.S.A.), as experimental animals. The results were as follows. The rate of pregnancy was 75% with cohabitation for more than 30 days, and 4% with cohabitation from 1 to 7 days. Both cases were of monogamous mating. The mean litter size was 3.5 ...
متن کاملVoltinism and Laboratory Rearing of Microvelia Hinei (heteroptera: Gerromorpha: Veliidae)
Voltinism in Microvelia hinei was studied in southern Illinois during 1989 and 1990. This species apparently overwintered as adults, which became active in late April; adults were last collected in late September. First instars were found from mid-May to late June, second instars from early-May to late October, third instars from mid-May to mid-July, fourth instars from mid-May to mid-August, a...
متن کاملLaboratory Animal Science
| A spontaneous neurological mutation was detected in a colony of Sprague Dawley rats. The animals developed a progressive neurological syndrome characterized by tremor (which appeared at the age of 1 month), ataxia (at 4 months), immobility episodes (after 5-6 months), audiogenic seizures and hindlimb paralysis (after 10 months). Cross breeding experiments indicate that this is an autosomal re...
متن کاملLaboratory animal allergens.
Allergic sensitivity to laboratory animals can pose a significant occupational hazard to anyone with regular animal contact. Reactions to mice and rats are most common although all furred animals produce allergens that can lead to sensitization and disease. Most of the relevant allergens of laboratory animals have been defined and characterized, which has revealed that these allergens are typic...
