Funded Activity Summary

Development of tests for detection and eradication of mouse parvovirus (MPV) from laboratory mouse colonies. This project between the animal virology group at Murdoch University and the major supplier of laboratory mice to the Australian research community will produce a sensitive serological test for the detection of mouse parvovirus in laboratory mouse colonies. Widespread infection by this virus has recently been identified in mouse colonies in Australia, and eradication of the virus and future surveillance requires the development of a sensitive serological test amenable to automated high throughput analysis. Eradication of this virus is critical as the virus modulates the immune system of mice and affects the results obtained in mice used for medical research.
