Laboratory animals can harbor various microorganisms in their bodies. These microorganisms generally do not cause overt clinical disease; however, they may alter the physiology of the animals, rendering them unsuitable for experimental use. Although the number and prevalence of these microorganisms in laboratory animal facilities have significantly decreased in recent years, many of them still appear in laboratory animals and cause the emergence of undesirable variables in research (physiology, biochemistry, immune system parameters, etc.). The use of laboratory animals has been steadily increasing both worldwide and in Türkiye. Researchers employing laboratory animals such as mice, rats, and rabbits in various experimental studies must be aware of the potential impact of these microorganisms on research outcomes. This study focuses on significant viral infections primarily localized in the gastrointestinal tract of mice and rats, specifically Mouse Parvovirus type 1 (MPV-1), Mouse Rotavirus [Epizootic Diarrhea of Infant Mice–EDIM], and Reovirus type 3 (Reo-3), addressing their etiology, epidemiology, clinical signs and pathology, as well as prevention and control strategies.
