Project Summary The Connecticut Veterinary Medical Diagnostic Laboratory at the University of Connecticut (CVMDL) is fully accredited by AAVLD and a member of the FDA CVM Vet-LRN and USDA's NAHLN. Our participation in the organizations listed above demonstrates our keen interest in investigating emerging animal and zoonotic diseases and disease surveillance, as well as our commitment to shared goals of quality veterinary diagnostics and networking to improve the scientific knowledge base and response capabilities. The CVMDL offers a full service veterinary diagnostic laboratory with qualified faculty and staff, modern facilities and up to date equipment. Co-PI Risatti has significant expertise in development of molecular based diagnostic assays for federal (USDA) laboratory network use; this experience could be helpful when developing standardized protocols for Vet-LRN use. CVMDL has long standing expertise in veterinary pathology, as well as microbiology, mastitis and molecular based detection of pathogens, including those in environmental samples (animal housing and transport vehicles) and food products (primarily eggs and milk). We currently detect chemical toxins via pathology, histopathological lesions (melamine, ethylene glycol), special histochemical stains (lead, iron, calcium, copper) and immunohistochemical stains (algal toxins, fungal toxins), but are very willing to expand testing for chemical analytes based on Vet-LRN needs. CVMDL is willing participate in Vet-LRN testing, method development and standardization, provide surge capacity for testing if needed, and to expand its testing modalities as resources allow to more fully participate in this Vet LRN cooperative agreement. We understand the need for timely and appropriate response, reporting, and communication with Vet-LRN, and have already established reporting via eLEXNET. CVMDL is the only remaining full service state veterinary diagnostic laboratory in the 6 state New England region, and provides critical diagnostic and surveillance services for animal and zoonotic diseases in the region. We have established linkages with the CT Department of Public Health (particularly in areas of zoonotic diseases and emergency response), as well as the CT Department of Agriculture and USDA APHIS Veterinary Services. CVMDL's participation in this joint endeavor will enhance the linkages between veterinary and public health, providing early diagnosis and response to food-borne and other pathogens that can impact both animal and human populations.

项目摘要 康涅狄格州兽医医学诊断实验室（CVMDL） 获得AAVLD的全面认证，是FDA CVM Vet-LRN和USDA NAHLN的成员。我们 参与上述组织表明我们对调查的浓厚兴趣 新出现的动物和人畜共患病和疾病监测，以及我们对 高质量兽医诊断和联网的共同目标，以提高科学知识 基地和反应能力。CVMDL提供全方位服务的兽医诊断实验室， 合格的教师和工作人员，现代化的设施和最新的设备。Co-PI Risatti具有显著的 为联邦（USDA）实验室网络开发基于分子的诊断测定的专业知识 使用;这方面的经验可能是有帮助的，当制定标准化的协议，兽医LRN使用。 CVMDL在兽医病理学以及微生物学、乳腺炎和 基于分子的病原体检测，包括环境样本（动物房）中的病原体 和运输工具）和食品（主要是鸡蛋和牛奶）。我们目前检测到化学物质 通过病理学、组织病理学病变（三聚氰胺、乙二醇）、特殊组织化学 染色（铅，铁，钙，铜）和免疫组织化学染色（藻类毒素，真菌毒素），但 非常愿意根据Vet-LRN的需求扩大化学分析物的检测。CVMDL愿意 参与Vet-LRN测试、方法开发和标准化，提供激增能力， 必要时进行测试，并在资源允许的情况下扩大测试模式， 这份退伍军人联盟合作协议我们理解需要及时和适当的反应， 报告，并与Vet-LRN沟通，并已通过eLEXNET建立报告。 CVMDL是6个州唯一剩下的全方位服务的州兽医诊断实验室。 英格兰地区，为动物和人畜共患病提供关键的诊断和监测服务， 该地区的疾病。我们已与CT公共卫生部建立联系 （特别是在人畜共患病和应急反应领域），以及 农业和美国农业部APHIS兽医服务。CVMDL参与这一共同奋进将 加强兽医和公共卫生之间的联系，提供早期诊断和应对， 食源性和其他病原体，可以影响动物和人类群体。
