Rainbow trout (Salmo gairdneri) fry and yearlings were compared with hybrids of rainbow trout and coho salmon (Oncorhynchus kisutch) for susceptibility to viral hemorrhagic septicemia (VHS). In three trials, exposure to waterborne infectivity consistently resulted in a 77% mortality of rainbow trout fry while loss among the hybrid fry averaged only 11%. Tests showed survivors might be carriers of virus. Hybrid yearlings infected by gill brushing were fully refractory to VHS whereas mortality (3:8) and viremia were recorded among gill-infected rainbow trout yearlings.

Endotracheal intubation of laboratory animals is a common procedure shared by several research fields for different purposes, such as mechanical ventilation of anaesthetized animals, instillation of cytotoxic nanoparticles, infectious agents or tumour cells for induction of disease models, and even for diagnostic and therapeutic purposes. These different research purposes, achieved in different animal models, require technical expertise and equipment that suits every research need from animal facilities. In this short report we propose a videoendoscopic intubation station that could be shared among the most common laboratory animals, namely the mouse, rat, guinea pig and rabbit, from neonates to adult animals. This report aims to contribute to the reduction of animals excluded from experiments due to false paths during direct and blind intubations and to the refinement of procedures by replacing surgical approaches such as tracheotomy.
