About the lecture:
With the corona pandemic and the associated research, hamsters have gained enormously in importance in a scientific context. However, due to their biological and physiological characteristics, breeding and keeping these small rodents in research facilities is associated with a number of challenges. In addition to an overview of these special features of hamsters, methods such as blood sampling, possibilities for the application of substances and possible anaesthesia regimes for this animal species will also be presented. Attendance of the lecture can be recognized as an hour of further training.
