High impact information on Animal Technicians

Antibodies to PV could not be detected in any of 138 human sera, including sera from 29 animal-care technicians who handled PV-infected mice and 15 personnel who had worked with the virus [1].
Animal technicians had the greatest exposure to both Rat n 1 and endotoxin [2].
Monitoring the correct use of isometamidium by farmers and veterinary assistants in Eastern Province of Zambia using the isometamidium-ELISA [3].
Two Internet-based distance learning courses were developed to teach animal physiology to veterinary technicians in the School of Veterinary Medicine at Purdue University. These distance learning course sites are designed to take advantage of multimedia technology to enhance students' learning experiences [4].
A 19 year old male veterinary nurse accidentally injected himself with 200 mg of xylazine (a muscle relaxant and sedative used in veterinary practice) [5].

Associations of Animal Technicians with chemical compounds

Mean methoxyflurane concentrations were 1.9 ppm and 1.7 ppm in breathing zones of small animal veterinarians and animal technicians, respectively [6].
