... Dr. Mannen stated that many members of JALAN encounter subtle differences between the required microbiologic monitoring/inspection items of animals being distributed among national, public, and private colleges, as well as other academic institutions, and that this type of problem also exists with international shipping.

... PINWORMS AS POSSIBLE INDICATORS OF BIOLOGICALLY CONTAMINATED ANIMAL FACILITIES Some Committee members considered the presence of nonpathogenic protozoa to reflect the level of microbiologic control among animal facilities. In the case of pinworms, the ICLAS monitoring center has identified pinworms as category E (i.e., a nonpathogenic parasite and mere indicator)
