DISEASE INVESTIGATIONS 197 delay when specimens come to hand so that they may be informed of the best method of handling. In cases where special material is to be collected for a specific purpose previous discussion with a member of the labora- tory staff is usually sufficient to determine methods of handling. As far as possible with existing staff and facilities diagnosis is determined at the Berkeley laboratory of the bureau. On occasion, where necessary, other agencies cooperate either by making a specific diagnosis or by confirming our own findings. Frequently other agencies and institu- tions in various parts of the State have cooperated by making their facilities available to us when working in their area. With our mobile laboratory this procedure is no longer as necessary as in the past. The special mobile laboratory of the division is a valuable adjunct to the Berkeley laboratory. This vehicle was designed to fill the need for rapid diagnosis of wildlife disease in the field. The emphasis was placed on mobility and maneuverability so that the site of a disease outbreak. Figure 48. The mobile laboratory. Photo by Kramer Adams. could be reached quickly even in areas that might be considered some- what inaccessible. It also was considered important that it contain all of the necessary facilities for complete diagnosis in the fields of bacteri- ology and parasitology so that it would be a completely self-sustained laboratory. Since this is a new type of equipment for the study of wildlife disease a description of the unit is given. The mobile laboratory is based on a one-ton panel truck. (Fig. 48). The vehicle has four speeds forward including a compound low gear. The generator has been replaced by an alternator that produces 80 amperes.
