ANIMAL RESOURCES DIAGNOSTIC AND INVESTIGATIVE

这项建议的具体目的是：1)开展和 扩展诊断实验室的服务以支持 健康评估、诊断和控制方案以及 预防实验动物的疾病；2)开发和 应用新方法检测和预防疾病 干扰研究的实验动物；3) 识别和描述符合以下条件的动物疾病 人类疾病的潜在模型；4)开展研究 实验室传染病和非传染性疾病的特征 动物，阐明发病机制，并发展适当的 治疗、控制和预防方法；5)发展 并完善动物疫病教学素材资源 比较医学和病理学。我们的方法是 实现这些目标包括改善我们的医疗保健和 诊断性实验室支持方案和扩展研究 致力于比较医学和病理学。最终， 我们的目标是提供全方位的动物护理和 为UTHSCD调查人员提供健康、 为他们的研究计划确定动物的特征并 以一种促进稳定和良好的方式维护它们 是存在的。

The specific aims of this proposal are: 1) to conduct and expand the services of the diagnostic laboratory to support programs of health assessment, diagnosis and control and prevention of diseases of laboratory animals; 2) to develop and apply new methods for the detection and prevention of diseases of experimental animals which interfere with research; 3) to recognize and characterize diseases of animals which are potential models of human diseases; 4) to conduct research to characterize infectious and noninfectious diseases of laboratory animals, to elucidate pathogenesis, and to develop appropriate treatment, control and prevention methods; and 5) to develop and improve a resource of animal disease material for teaching comparative medicine and pathology. Our methods to accomplish these goals include improving our health care and diagnostic laboratory support programs and expanding research endeavors in comparative medicine and pathology. Ultimately, our purpose is to provide the total spectrum of animal care and support required to present UTHSCD investigators with healthy, characterized animals for their research programs and to maintain them in a manner that promotes stability and well being.
