Rodent Quarantine Program

Related Information

Contacts

Rodents imported from non-approved vendor sources may require quarantine. These rodent lines may have pathogens that can affect research and ascertaining what pathogens the rodents have is necessary to determine which UW facilities they are permitted to be housed in.

Sometimes rodent lines must be rederived to clean up a particular line from unwanted pathogens and/or for housing in clean facilities. Genome Editing and Animal Models (GEAM) Core here on the UW campus provides rederivation services to investigators.

Pathogen testing, cage per diems, and/or rederivation service costs are the investigator’s responsibility.

To minimize the risk of rodent pathogens and ensure a quiet acclimating environment, research staff cannot access quarantine.

Please contact your RARC veterinarian and vivarium Animal Care Manager for additional information.

 

The flowchart below outlines how to initiate an import request and provides import options for non-vendor sourced rodents.
