Genetically modified mouse health reporting: a need for global standardization.
The distribution of GM mice between facilities has raised new problems because of variable microbiological quality. One of the most important management issues concerns the methods of reporting laboratory animal health surveillance results. The authors evaluated the format and content of 380 health reports of mice received from 55 institutions in Europe and North America. Their results suggest that a standardized rodent health form would facilitate the management of laboratory mouse distribution and infection control.
