animal model

an·i·mal mod·el

study in a population of laboratory animals that uses conditions in animals analogous to conditions of humans to simulate processes comparable with those that occur in human populations.

animal model

An animal that is an accidental or deliberate (though selective inbreeding) model of a human disease. Such models are experimental living systems that are used to study disease mechanisms and provide insight into possible therapies.
Animal models

• ALL—Immune deficient SCID mice.
• Atherosclerosis—Watanabe rabbits.
• Ceroid lipofuscinosis—Border collies.

• Congenital hyperbilirubinemia—Gunn rat enzymopathy.
• Congenital malignancy—Embryonal nephroma—pigs; hepatoblastoma—sheep; melanoma—darkly pigmented animals.
• Crohn’s disease—Paratuberculosis/Johne’s disease, which affects dairy ruminants by Mycobacterium johnei.

• Lymphoma—Lymphosarcoma in dogs.
• Malignant histiocytosis—Bernese Mountain dogs.
