Abstract

PROJECT SUMMARY - CORE 002 VIRAL TESTING Rigorous and repeatable pathogen detection testing is required for maintenance and expansion of SPF macaque colonies. The WaNPRC Pathogen Detection Services Laboratory (PDSL) has provided testing services since the inception of non-human primate (NHP) SPF colonies in the mid-1980’s and the animals have contributed significantly to advances in disease research including AIDS therapies, vaccines and hundreds of research projects. We propose to continue this high-quality testing for SPF agents, to improve the assays and to expand on the agents to be detected for purposes of animal health, human safety and research enhancement.
