The American Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene's American Committee of Medical Entomology has released their updated edition (Version 3.2) of the Arthropod Containment Guidelines. The Guidelines were written to provide pertinent risk assessment and risk management information for the safe handling and rearing of arthropods used in research. The format of the Guidelines is like the outline used in the CDC/NIH Biosafety in Microbiological and Biomedical Laboratories. Four Arthropod Containment Levels (ACLs) are described, with increasing requirements for safety and security from ACL-1 to ACL-4. Each containment level provides information on standard practices, including standard and special practices, storage, labeling, monitoring and trapping escaped arthropods, training, medical surveillance, safety equipment, and facility design.
美国热带医学与卫生学会的医学昆虫学美国委员会发布了其《节肢动物饲养指南》更新版（第3.2版）。该指南旨在为研究中使用的节肢动物的安全处理和饲养提供相关风险评估和风险管理信息。指南的格式类似于美国疾病控制与预防中心/美国国立卫生研究院《微生物和生物医学实验室生物安全》中使用的大纲。指南描述了四个节肢动物饲养级别（ACL），从ACL-1到ACL-4，对安全保障的要求逐步提高。每个饲养级别都提供了标准操作方面的信息，包括标准操作和特殊操作、储存、标签、监测和捕获逃逸的节肢动物、培训、医学监测、安全设备以及设施设计。
