Enhanced Parasitology Facility at Charles River Ireland
More Choice, Increased Capacity, Quicker Results
June 8, 2011 - Charles River is delighted to announce the expansion of our parasitology facility in the West of Ireland. Our fully validated, custom-built and energy-efficient facility of approximately 6,000 sq. ft. provides a significant increase in our capacity for tick production (EU and US strains). In addition, it allows us to expand into new species, such as sandflies and mosquitoes.
Charles River has over 30 years of experience providing solutions to the animal health industry in ectoparasitology and endoparasitology. With this development, we can now offer not only an extended range of species, but also larger study designs and improved scheduling to meet your program requirements.
Through our rapid in vitro screening service, our colonies of fleas and several species of ticks can be used to evaluate the potential of new candidate molecules. In addition, we can breed ectoparasites common to livestock species and companion animals.
Our range of study designs includes efficacy studies for both endo- and ectoparasite species, as well as the full range of regulatory studies. Regulatory studies include safety/tolerance, reproductive safety, pharmacokinetics and residue analysis - all of which meet FDA, US EPA, European EMA and VICH guidelines.
