Approving the use of animals in medical education.

Animals have been and will continue to be used in educational programs, but some concerns about the responsibility for assuring their proper care and humane use need to be discussed. Research animals have been regulated and monitored quite successfully by Institutional Animal Care and Use Committees (IACUC). These Committees are extending their responsibilities to cover animals used in educational programs. Three common roles of these IACUCs are described, including oversight, investigative and training responsibilities. Guidelines developed for faculty using animals at the University of Florida are presented and discussed.

Investigation of zoonotically acquired Campylobacter jejuni enteritis with serotyping and restriction endonuclease DNA analysis.

Five strains of Campylobacter jejuni were isolated from asymptomatic coyotes being maintained in a vivarium. According to the results of serotyping with thermostable antigens and of bacterial chromosomal restriction endonuclease analysis, one of the C. jejuni strains isolated from the coyotes was responsible for enteritis in a laboratory animal technician providing husbandry for the laboratory-maintained coyotes.

Root canal procedure for disarming nonhuman primates.

Nonhuman primates were disarmed by shortening their canine teeth. These teeth were cut off near the gingival level, the entire pulpal tissue removed and the canal filled with a formulated paste which was radiopaque, adhesive and germicidal. The teeth were sealed with a commercial alloy. This endodontic procedure was a quick, practical one-step method for permanently disarming nonhuman primates.
