Efficacy Testing

Charles River breeds specific pathogen-free (SPF) animals, ectoparasites and endoparasites, making us an ideal choice to conduct your efficacy studies. We have over 30 years experience conducting the following studies:

• Proof-of-concept
• Dose determination
• Dose confirmation
• Challenge trials
• Bioequivalence
• Clinical trials
• Parasitology

Within the last two years, we have added ear mites and lice to our areas of expertise with both R&D and post-marketing divisions.

In addition, European field isolates of common parasites found in domestic species are available at our endoparasitology laboratory, which was established to better meet the needs of the veterinary pharmaceutical industry.
