Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
There have been remarkable updates during the last decade in animal disease model development. The majority of studies in this field have since the very beginning been carried out using rodent animals. The reason for this is that rodent animals provide easy access, and numerous data can be extrapolated which can be of use to researchers. Recently, however, the limitations of rodent disease modality have led to a push to expand research beyond rodent animals, even though they still represent the strongest candidate for evaluating human disease. This Special Issue invites articles on human disease animal models based on animals of a medium and/or large size, such as dogs or swine. The goal is to showcase the recent focus of research and to provide future directions in terms of animal disease models.
