There will also be a session in which participants may interact with the Committee to Update the Guide for the Care and Use of Laboratory Animals to ask questions and provide feedback. More information is available online.
Early registration ends September 1st. Single day registration is also available.
Current Issue
Volume 49(2): Microbial Quality Control for Nonhuman Primates 
Issue editors: Keith Mansfield and Joseph Kemnitz
"In contrast to many other laboratory animal species, infectious diseases have proven difficult to eliminate from nonhuman primate colonies and various pathogens remain a threat to animal and colony health. Moreover, despite significant advances in the diagnosis of infectious diseases, unrecognized or adventitious agents are common in nonhuman primates and have the potential to confound experimental work. This issue of the ILAR Journal is devoted to microbial quality control for nonhuman primates and addresses a number of important concerns facing veterinarians and scientists who use such animals."
Keith Mansfield and Joseph Kemnitz

ILAR e-Journal is the peer-reviewed electronic supplement to our print
journal that expands upon our mission of providing pertinent information for
investigators in biomedical and related research, institutional officials
for research, veterinarians, and members of animal care and use committees

Recognition and Alleviation of Distress in Laboratory Animals
The first in a two-part update of ILAR's 1992 report, Recognition and Alleviation of Distress in Laboratory Animals, focuses on the distress experienced by animals used in laboratory research. This book aims to educate laboratory animal veterinarians, students, researchers, animal care staff, and animal welfare officers on the current scientific and ethical issues associated with stress and distress in laboratory animals. The report evaluates pertinent scientific literature and generates practical and pragmatic guidelines for the recognition, alleviation, and minimization of distress for animals in the laboratory setting.
