About Pre conference course E. The world of infection - working with infected animal models

Pre conference course E. The world of infection - working with infected animal models

Instructors

Roberto Plasenzotti and Uwe Müller-Doblies

Working with an animal model of infection means introducing an additional risk into the infection chain.  

Not only the animals need to be handled appropriately to reduce a potential risk to the scientist, the equipment also plays a major role in minimising risk during individual infection experiments. 

Infection models with obligate pathogenic human germs must be treated carefully and calmly. The 3Rs of laboratory animal science are not only a guarantee for ethically sound experiments, but also serve the safety of the researchers. 

This course is rated as advanced. Therefore basic knowledge of Biosafety is a prerequisite as well as initial knowledge in working with animals.
