DIAGNOSTIC PARASITOLOGY CORE

这个子项目是利用由NIH/NCRR资助的中心拨款提供的资源的许多研究子项目之一。子项目和调查员(PI)可能从另一个NIH来源获得了主要资金，因此可能会出现在其他CRISE条目中。列出的机构是针对中心的，而不一定是针对调查员的机构。每当猴子被怀疑藏有寄生虫时，寄生虫学服务实验室就会为研究人员和临床兽医提供诊断支持。所有从外部进入隔离的动物在被允许进入群体之前，每月都要检查血液和肠道寄生虫。此外，对啮齿动物群体中的老鼠进行定期检查，以确定是否有蠕虫和蛔虫。当涉及非人类灵长类动物的项目需要诊断服务时，该实验室还与中心外的研究人员合作。在2005历年期间，该实验室处理了1072份临床样本，其中包括655份来自隔离动物的粪便样本，以及417份来自分配给研究项目的动物的粪便样本。该实验室还用诺特？S技术检测了118份血液样本，并对群体动物的血液涂片进行了粗细分析。报告的致病寄生虫包括蓝氏贾第鞭毛虫(5%)、结肠巴兰蒂氏菌(12%)、富勒伯氏类圆线虫(23%)和鞭毛虫(23%)。该实验室被认为是世界上为数不多的专门研究非人类灵长类寄生虫的设施之一，它检查了NIH/NIAID杰罗尔德·沃德博士组织中寄生虫的显微照片。该实验室还检查了一系列来自杜兰间隔室的灰尘样本，以评估是否存在Syphacia卵，并将继续帮助该设施进行飓风后的清理。除了上述样本外，实验室还在检查血液和粪便样本，以直接支持对繁殖群体的地方性病原体的调查。

This subproject is one of many research subprojects utilizing the resources provided by a Center grant funded by NIH/NCRR. The subproject and investigator (PI) may have received primary funding from another NIH source, and thus could be represented in other CRISP entries. The institution listed is for the Center, which is not necessarily the institution for the investigator. The Parasitology Service Laboratory provides diagnostic support to investigators and clinical veterinarians whenever monkeys are suspected of harboring parasites. All animals entering quarantine from outside sources are examined for blood and intestinal parasites at monthly intervals before they are allowed to enter the colony. Additionally, mice in the rodent colony are periodically checked for mites and pinworms prospectively. The laboratory also collaborates with researchers outside the Center when projects involving non-human primates require diagnostic services. During the calendar year 2005, the laboratory processed 1072 clinical samples, including 655 stool samples from animals in quarantine, and 417 stool samples from animals assigned to research projects. The lab also examined 118 blood samples by the Knott?s technique and thick and thin blood smears from colony animals. Pathogenic parasites reported included Giardia lamblia (5%), Balantidium coli (12%), Strongyloides fulleborni (23%), and Trichuris trichiura (23%). The laboratory, recognized as one of the few facilities in the world devoted to parasites of non-human primates, examined photomicrographs of parasites in tissue from Dr. Jerrold Ward, NIH/NIAID. The laboratory also examined a series of dust samples from the Tulane vivarium to assess the potential presence of Syphacia eggs, and will continue to aid this facility in its post-hurricane clean up. In addition to the above samples, the laboratory is also examining blood and fecal samples in direct support of a survey of enzootic pathogens from the breeding colony.
