Rabies is a deadly disease caused by a virus that attacks the central nervous system. Infection causes an acute, progressive encephalomyelitis that is almost always fatal.

Bats control insect populations around the world, but may also carry diseases that can affect humans and other animals. The Offices of Biosafety have developed a set of rules on interacting with bats in the environment.

Zika virus is a flavivirus transmitted by the Aedes spp. mosquito. The same genus of mosquitoes also transmits other viral diseases, including dengue fever, chikungunya, West Nile, and yellow fever.

The Division of Research is committed to promoting and ensuring the highest standards of research integrity in proposing, conducting, and reporting research. Through its various programs, the Division provides information and guidance in areas such as export controls, conflicts of interest/commitment, visiting scholars, and responsible conduct of research.

Texas A&M University is committed to promoting and ensuring the highest standards of research integrity. Misconduct in research is defined as the fabrication, falsification, or plagiarism in proposing, performing, reviewing, or reporting research. It does not include honest error or honest differences in interpretations or judgments of data, nor does it include other forms of misconduct, such as sexual or other forms of harassment, misuse of funds, gross negligence in a person’s professional activities, etc.

Designated authorship allows others to assess the relative input of each author to the impact of an intellectual endeavor, including original scientific research; words and images; and works of art, music or dance. 

The Attending Veterinarian is responsible for the health and well-being of all animals used for research, teaching, and testing at Texas A&M University.

The Comparative Medicine Program (CMP) enhances excellence in research and teaching at Texas A&M through high quality animal care at an affordable cost to the faculty, consistent with the standards established by the “Guide for the Care & Use of Laboratory Animals” and all pertinent local, state, and federal laws.
