In order to standardize the nomenclature of the spontaneously diabetic BB rat, the following are recommended. All rats obtained directly from the Ottawa colony should be designated BB. The term Wistar should not be used, and W should not be added to denote the Wistar derivation. When breeding is commenced elsewhere, each center should add a letter to identify its colony, such as BB/W for the colony in Worcester, Mass. No other colony should use such a designation if it has been published previously. Use of supplementary nomenclature to indicate BB rat lines of high and low incidence or to refer to different stages of the syndrome (potential diabetes, impaired glucose tolerance, overt insulin-dependent diabetes) should remain the discretion of the individual breeder, but should be rigorously defined.
为规范自发性糖尿病BB大鼠的命名，建议如下。所有直接从渥太华种群获得的大鼠应命名为BB。不应使用术语Wistar，也不应添加W来表示其源自Wistar。当在其他地方开始繁殖时，每个中心应添加一个字母来识别其种群，例如马萨诸塞州伍斯特的种群为BB/W。如果之前已经有其他种群使用过这样的命名，则该种群不应再使用。使用补充命名法来表示高发病率和低发病率的BB大鼠品系，或指代综合征的不同阶段（潜在糖尿病、糖耐量受损、显性胰岛素依赖型糖尿病），应由个体饲养者自行决定，但应进行严格定义。
