J Am Assoc Lab Anim Sci
. 2023 May;
62(3):229-242.
PMID: 37127407
Rodents used in biomedical research are maintained as specific pathogen-free (SPF) by employing biosecurity measures that eliminate and exclude adventitious infectious agents known to confound research. The efficacy of these...

ILAR J
. 2008 May;
49(3):316-25.
PMID: 18506065
Specific pathogen-free (SPF) rodents for modern biomedical research need to be free of pathogens and other infectious agents that may not produce disease but nevertheless cause research interference. To meet...
