Wyoming Vet Lab Getting Biohazard Facility To Test Wildlife

(AP) — Work is underway at the Wyoming State Veterinary Laboratory to add a biohazard facility that will focus on the nasty diseases found in some Wyoming wildlife, like the plague and rabies. Director William Laegreid said the upgraded "biosafety level 3" laboratory will allow veterinarians to keep the main facility open when an animal shows up with a serious disease. The Wyoming State Veterinary Laboratory, operated under the University of Wyoming, focuses on diagnosing diseases present in Wyoming wildlife, the Laramie Boomerang reported (http://bit.ly/29TDubl). Researchers hope the lab will help them find a way to cure or prevent brucellosis, a bacteria that causes abortions in cattle and large wildlife.
