DescriptionAll rodents shipped to the U-M from non-approved vendors and/or other
institutions must be quarantined for approximately three weeks to avoid the
possible introduction of infectious agents to the University’s rodent colonies.
Animals in quarantine are tested for viral, bacterial, and parasitic agents. If
animals test positive for rodent viral, bacterial, or parasitic infections while
in quarantine, they must be treated for the infection and, if appropriate,
re-derived by embryo transfer via the Transgenic Animal Model Core or used in
non-survival experiments. The same is true for rodents that are known to be
positive at the time of shipment to U-M. Accordingly, ULAM Veterinary Staff
strongly discourages investigators from acquiring research animals with known
rodent viral, bacterial, or parasitic infections. Investigators are responsible
for paying all quarantine-associated costs, including technician time,
laboratory testing, and per-diems. Once the animals are released from
quarantine, ULAM will transfer them to the appropriate animal housing room.
Study teams who wish to have animals shipped to the University of Michigan from
other institutions or non-commercial (approved) vendors should contact the ULAM
Rodent Health Surveillance Team at ulam-rhst@umich.edu(link sends e-mail) or
(734) 936-1699 at least two weeks in advance of desired delivery date.
