CPL’s Health Surveillance program offers comprehensive monitoring of research animal colonies through both live animal and environmental testing, supported by molecular diagnostics, parasitology, anatomic pathology, microbiology, and serology services.
Approach and Strategy
Our approach includes direct testing of animals as well as assessment of the surrounding environment (such as housing, bedding, and surfaces) to provide a complete picture of colony health.
Our integrated strategy is designed to identify and mitigate infectious agents and environmental health concerns before they impact animal welfare or experimental results. By combining sentinel and non-sentinel animal testing with environmental monitoring, we help detect risks early and support informed decision-making.
With expertise grounded in the UC Davis School of Veterinary Medicine, CPL helps research programs maintain reliable, healthy colonies by providing high-quality testing, expert consultation, and actionable information. Whether establishing a routine monitoring program or responding to emerging concerns, we support your team in maintaining healthy animals and uninterrupted research.
Work with us to strengthen confidence in your data, protect valuable colonies, and reduce the risk of costly setbacks, so your research can progress with clarity and consistency.
