Animal models
Before medicines become available to people, they must be extensively and thoroughly tested in preclinical trials and clinical trials. Wageningen Bioveterinary Research (WBVR) has unique expertise in animal models for infectious diseases in various species ranging from livestock to rodents.
Various interventions (vaccines, medicines, feed) can be tested and validated in our models, either for veterinary applications or for translational research into human applications. We can also perform clinical trials under Good Clinical Practice standards (GCP).
Full AAALAC accreditation
Wageningen Bioveterinary Research has a full AAALAC accreditation. This means that we offer the highest quality animal care and welfare for animals and employees.
We take care of our animals by a very knowledgeable and specialized team, and the animals are housed in well maintained and organized facilities.

Animal models for animal health
We have a broad portfolio of animal models for various pathogens, which can be supported with extensive laboratory analyses. Based on this experience, we can develop customized animals models with specific isolates or new pathogens for customers.
Animal models for human health
Many animal models developed within Wageningen Bioveterinary Research (WBVR) provide insights into human health issues. We offer more insight into the epidemiology, transmission and pathogenesis of zoonoses in animal and human cases. In addition, our animal models can be used for translational clinical and preclinical studies into human diseases.
Preclinical and clinical studies
As an independent contract research organization (CRO), Wageningen Bioveterinary Research (WBVR) is well suited for preclinical and clinical trials for public and private clients.
