Sažetak
Despite nowadays alternative methods, laboratory rabbits, rats and mice in particular, are an important part of biomedical research. Since these laboratory animals are kept in a "clean" facilities and are regularly monitored in quarantine and health controls, the infectious agents are not as likely to cause substantial morbidity or mortality that raises concern and leads to further investigation. However, as there are multiple strains of laboratory animals, some strains are more susceptible to infections, and also it should bear in mind the possibility of inapparent infections that can modulate the immune system and may interfere with diverse research areas. Therefore, here will be presented the most frequent spontaneous infectious diseases that primarily affect the enterohepatic, respiratory, immune system and skin or are multisystemic. Besides, a very important part of the health status of laboratory animals are noninfectious diseases and conditions whose causes are dependent on the sex and age of animals, genetics and immune status, microbial status, diet and environmental factors. According to this, here will be summarized the most common noninfectious conditions that affect skin, heart diseases, amyloidosis, nephropathy and frequent noninfectious conditions in the nervous and reproductive system as well as the most common tumors.
