The course is designed to provide the participants with advanced concepts of animal health and environmental monitoring for rodents. Simulation of health monitoring laboratory schemes is provided through interactive theoretical sessions. The participants are guided by expert instructors through the traditional, as well more innovative procedures (e.g., sentinels-free approach) for health monitoring, the interpretation of results and action plans in case of confirmed infection. An overview of health monitoring approaches for aquatics will also be provided. The content of the course includes: traditional and emerging agents, international guidelines, selection of laboratory techniques for health monitoring, including innovative techniques such as EAD-PCR, screening of incoming animals and biological samples, control of the macro- and micro-environment, disaster plan in case of confirmed infection. Health monitoring of aquatic models will also be discussed
