Data are expressed as number positive/number tested

 

Abbreviation used in this report:

 

ELISA  = enzyme linked immunosorbent assay, MICR = microscopy, IFA = immunoflorescence assay, CULT = culture, PATH = gross pathology, PCR = polymerase chain reaction, HIST = histopathology, NT = not tested

 

 

Diagnostic laboratories:

1. BioDoc LTD, Feodor Lynen str. 23, 30625 Hannover, Germany

2. Central Veterinary Institute, Tábornok u. 2, 1149 Budapest, Hungary.

3. IDEXX GmbH (IDEXX BioAnlaytics), Im Moldengraben 65, 70806 Kornwestheim, Germany

 

Remarks:

 

The sentinel program consists of at least quarterly necropsy, serology, and parasitology following the recommendation of FELASA. These sentinels are housed on a sample of dirty bedding from the other animals’ cages from a given room.

* NS1 = NS1 protein is highly conserved among rodent parvoviruses and thus serves as a generic assay for parvovirus seroconversion.

The ‘Serology/Parasitology History’ provided above indicates previous sentinel results and is not a guarantee of the current or future health status; it is only an indicator of the previous health status. A conventional animal house is running in the same building with MHV and pinworms.

 

This document has been changed conforming the new recommendations made by the FELASA working group on revision of guidelines for health monitoring of rodents and rabbits in February, 2014.
