Abstract
The work was carried out to study the health status of some laboratory animals (rats,mice,guiea-pigs,hamsters and frogs) in some Egyptian scientific institutes and investigating the type of microorganisms that may harbor and can be transmitted to man and also study the role of laboratory animal handlers (veterinarians, technicians, …etc)in transmitting some bacterial and parasitic agents to laboratory animals . The isolated bacteria were Salmonella spp., proteus spp., Klebsiella pneumonia, Eschericha coli, Yersinia enterocolitica, Staphylocoocus aureus and Listeria spp. However, the detected parasites were Entamoeba spp, Giardia lamblia, Hymenolepis spp and fleas . The results proved that affected laboratory animals possessed a zoonotic risk to contact personnel and vice versa.
