Animal disease model development
Animal disease models are non-human animals used to research strategies to detect, prevent, or treat human disease. A variety of animals, including mice, rats, rabbits, and non-human primates are used for animal disease modeling. New animal disease models are developed regularly as knowledge of disease expand and technological improvements enhance current models.
