Transcript
Working with the Big Bang Boys
By the end of the presentation the attendees
will be able to:
- Discuss the EH requirements for research
employees
- Identify employee screening requirements for
various organisms
- Discuss evaluation/treatment of WR incidents



Most animals used in research are breed and
NOT wild caught – No issue of worms,
parasites
Exposure maybe to the research or to the
specific type of animal
University of Pittsburgh one of four centers
with BSL 3 level approval
University of Pittsburgh one of 23 NHP
centers

Exceptional care for the animals
◦ Ill animals


Development of Animal Exposure Surveillance
Program
Involvement of Environmental Health and
Safety
Involvement of a Biosafety Officer
Educational level of employees and need for
education CONSTANTLY

Special laboratory
NHP examination
Bite worse than scratch, close to head worse
Numbness of area ---- meningoencephalitis
Antiviral medication
Follow up with human and Non-human
SIV/HIV 2



Strength of animal underestimated
Rabies
Animals are observed every day
◦ Looking for any open areas
◦ Looking for pain signs

Measles
◦ Positive titer NOT just history vaccines

TB
◦ Every six month evaluation – both humans and NHP

Proactive is better than reactive
