Agammaglobulinemia and Staphylococcus aureus botryomycosis in a cohort of related sentinel Swiss Webster mice.

چکیده
Sentinel mouse seroconversion to infectious agents is critical for laboratory animal facility disease monitoring. We report spontaneous emergence of non-sex-linked agammaglobulinemia with B-cell deficiency and cutaneous Staphylococcus aureus granulomatosis (botryomycosis) in a cohort of related Swiss Webster sentinel mice. Our experience reinforces the importance of immunocompetency validation in surveillance programs.

We consider that this simple treatment ca...
متن کاملبررسی انگل های روده ای در موش های آزمایشگاهی نژاد SwissWebster
Background and purpose: Nowadays the laboratory mice are frequently used in basic science research. However, these animals may be infected with some pathogens as parasites. The study of parasites infecting laboratory mice is important on account of two reasons: 1) zoonotic agents and 2) interference with the results of some studies such as immunology and pharmacology. Thus, we carried out this ...
