2 Nature of Research

Objective #1: To compare vaccinated and non-vaccinated swine when naturally exposed to porcine respiratory virus (PRV).

Methods Used: Use tissue culture methods and real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) on tracheal

mucus samples obtained from the swine to measure target protein production. Use real-time PCR and tissue culture methods to determine what percentage of swine

who become infected with PRV; and Use of immune-histo techniques to compare the proportion of and days to disease

development between vaccinated and non-vaccinated heifers as determined by ultrasonography and tracheal glycoproteins.

Objective #2: To develop a vaccine against the porcine epidemic diarrhea virus (PEDV) by identifying the various virulent and variant strains found in North America, and determining if the variant strain can be used as a vaccine. Once a virulent strain is determined, the infectious nature of the disease will be tested on pigs, to determine symptoms.

Methods used: Collecting various strains of PEDV across North America, including Canada and the

USA; Using cell culture to propagate the PEDV, this will be confirmed by immunofluorescence

assays and electron microscopy; and Using real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) to identify the genetic differences

between PEDV strains; and validate the use of real time PCR process for identifying the genetic differences.

Pig studies to determine virulence factors, taking samples, blood, and determining vaccine potential targets.

5 Biosecurity Assessment

The development, implementation, evaluation, and maintenance of a biosecurity plan, based on a biosecurity risk assessment, is required for facilities where biohazardous material or toxins are handled and/or stored.

Answer the following questions in detail to develop your biosecurity plan.

Part A: Biosecurity PlanWho is allowed, or authorized in the facility (e.g. graduate students, technicians, other faculty, custodial staff, building service technicians, Operations and Maintenance trades, etc.)?

Individuals listed as Authorized Workers on the Biosafety Permit are allowed to work in laboratories listed on the Permit and will have keys/codes to access these laboratories. Custodial staff, building service techs., and Operations and Maintenance trades are permitted into laboratories to perform their required tasks only. Visiting students, faculty, and scientists require full supervision and need to sign in/out log sheet. No children or pets are allowed in laboratories.

Have you identified the roles and responsibilities for each authorized individual? Where is this documented?

Authorized individual roles and responsibilities are documented and kept in the Safety Training Records binder in Rm 163 Research Annex.

Describe how is access to the facility controlled?

Only those authorized to enter the facility are assigned keys for access. Each individual has keys with unique numbers, which are monitored by the Safety Resources managerial clerical staff.

Are doors to the containment zone are kept closed at all times (no exceptions)?

Doors are kept closed at all times. Doors are kept locked at night and when they are left unattended during the day.

applicable) What are the specific procedures carried out when working with animals (e.g. entry/exit procedures, training requirements, restraints and handling of the animals, decontamination, animal transport, etc.)?

Any authorized workers using animals would be required to take the Animal Ethics courses (online) e.g. basic, lab animal and large animal handling. Refer to AUP 200190005.

What health and safety requirements are implemented when working with animals (e.g. engineering controls, procedures, PPE)?

Authorized workers follow all PPE requirements stated in the AUP SOPs entry and exit for large animal CL2. PPE is dedicated to the facility.

7.11 Human work considerations (if applicable) (Includes clinical samples,

phlebotomy)

Response

What are the specific procedures carried out when working with human blood, cells, tissues, or bodily fluids (e.g. PPE requirements, training requirements, decontamination, etc.)

- Cell culture and viral propagation as outlined in SOP-20 Tissue culture of porcine and human cell lines

What health and safety requirements are implemented when collecting human blood, tissue, or bodily fluid samples (e.g. engineering controls, procedures, PPE)?

- Use CL2 operational processes outlined in SOP-20 Tissue culture of porcine and human cell lines

7.12 Emergency preparedness and response

Response

State which Emergency Response Plan (ERP) the lab follows for emergency procedures.

RANNEX ERP Feb 2016

Where is the ERP located? On the desktop of the lab computer and in a binder above the computer workstation labelled ERP.

Describe situations that may occur in the lab that need to be captured in the ERP.

Situations that could occur in the lab and covered in the ERP: Fire, spills of hazardous materials, and medical emergencies.

State how the annual ERP training is provided and documented.

ERP found on the desktop of the lab computer and in a binder above the computer workstation labelled ERP.

ERP review is conducted annually at lab meetings and training is documented. Reminders are provided periodically in lab meetings.
