Webinar Overview
Health monitoring programs are designed to protect your animals from unwanted pathogens that could negatively influence your research. Recent advances in diagnostic testing have revealed some new data that may have you questioning whether your method is “trendy” enough to detect today’s common infectious agents.
This webinar discusses the findings from two decades of data on pathogen detection, which includes:
- Which rodent pathogens have remained common and why
- What attributes allow modern diagnostic methods to produce robust data
- What parameters you should consider with your own HM program
