We know that a microbial contamination has the potential to affect the integrity of your research. Having a better understanding of the infectious agents that can contaminate your facility allows you to develop a comprehensive plan to manage or prevent an outbreak. To support you, Charles River created technical reference sheets for the infectious agents prevalent today and historically. These sheets include pertinent information, such as affected species, transmission, clinical signs and lesions, diagnosis, inference with research, prevention and treatment.
If you would you like to discuss how an agent may affect your facility and your research, our professional staff, including veterinarians and other doctoral-level scientists with specialties in virology, microbiology and pathology, are available to consult on areas such as:
- biosecurity program design
- disease implications
- post-contamination action planning
- results interpretation
