Health Surveillance
Health surveillance is to detect subclinical infections of animals with the potential to detrimentally affect research. Maintaining healthy animals is essential to the integrity of scientific research as well as animal welfare.
Though SPF (Specific-Pathogen-Free) animals can be commercially acquired, all research animals must be monitored for naturally occurring diseases especially infectious diseases, as well as genetic integrity and environmental factors (e.g. light, food, water, bedding condition).
To ensure researchers have the necessary tools to meet all their needs, CD BioSciences offers a wide range of services from molecular biological analysis to organism related services. Our health surveillance program monitors laboratory animals for both routine surveillance and diagnosis of diseases.
