rabbit as an animal model for experimental research

The rabbit as an animal model for experimental surgery.

The white New Zealand rabbit (Oryctolagus cuniculus) is frequently used as a model for in vivo studies. However, information on precautions when using this animal as an experimental model is limited. This review of the literature covers the gamut from the selection of the animal model all the way to its death, and describes procedures for transporting, raising, breeding, housing, administering ...

MAKING AN EXPERIMENTAL ANIMAL MODEL FOR MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS

To understand the mechanism of Multiple Sclerosis (MS), an autoimmune demyelinating disease, the researchers developed an experimental animal model for MS, which is called EAE (Experimental Allergic Encephalomyelitis). There are several methods for inducing this animal model. In this research the active EAE, which is developed by injecting bovine myelin antigens into genetically susceptibl...

Tupaia Belangeri as an Experimental Animal Model for Viral Infection

Tupaias, or tree shrews, are small mammals that are similar in appearance to squirrels. The morphological and behavioral characteristics of the group have been extensively characterized, and despite previously being classified as primates, recent studies have placed the group in its own family, the Tupaiidae. Genomic analysis has revealed that the genus Tupaia is closer to humans than it is to ...

The Rabbit as an Experimental Model in Laryngology

The ferret as an animal model in cerebrovascular research.

Clinical and pathologic observations have suggested analogies between the developing nervous system of ferrets (Mustela putorius furo) and those of more traditional animal models employed in stroke research. Experimental work has demonstrated advantages of the ferret as a model of visual development. We performed in vivo cerebral angiography and postmortem neurovascular dissection of latex-inje...
