Laboratory containment practices for arthropod vectors of human and animal pathogens

Walter J Tabachnick. Lab Anim (NY). 2006 Mar.

Abstract

Arthropod-borne pathogens have an impact on the health and well-being of humans and animals throughout the world. Research involving arthropod vectors of disease is often dependent on the ability to maintain the specific arthropod species in laboratory colonies. The author reviews current arthropod containment practices and discusses their importance from public health and ecological perspectives.
