  • Beschreibung: We compared the efficacies of two different individually ventilated cage systems (Allentown and Tecniplast) for health monitoring (HM) of murine infectious agents using exhaust air particle (EAP) capture and real-time PCR. After three months of monitoring, both EAP capture media allowed detection of Helicobacter, Pasteurella and Entamoeba. Use of the EAP real-time PCR for HM reduces the number of mice used.
