Course "Microbiological Monitoring of Rodents: Traditional and Innovative Approaches"
During this two-day course 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.
The content of the course includes: traditional and emerging agents, relevant 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. The influence of microbiota on animal models and monitoring techniques will also be discussed.
Simulation of health monitoring schemes will be delivered through interactive theoretical sessions; a workshop will present a hypothetical scenario, with needs and limitations, providing the participants with the opportunity to developed their own programme with the support of the trainers.
