Comparative Study
The effect of germfree and SPF maintenance conditions on the lifespan and diseases of small laboratory animals
J S Afr Vet Assoc.
1978 Sep.
Abstract
The mortality rates and spontaneous diseases defining the course of natural mortality graphs in colonies of Han: NMRI mice kept under conventional, SPF and germfree maintenance conditions are reported. A specific problem in SPF colonies is caused by ubiquitous germs. The lesions and possible reasons for such types of infections are discussed.
