Animal models of infection are laboratory animals that are used to study the biology of infectious diseases and to identify potential therapeutic interventions. By studying the responses of animals to specific infections, researchers can better understand the mechanisms of the infectious agent and better predict the behavior of the disease in humans. Animal models are also used to test various types of vaccines and treatments, such as antiviral and antibacterial drugs. Animal models help to answer questions about the pathogenesis of infectious diseases, the natural history of infections, and the immune responses of different hosts. They also provide an ethical, safe, and cost-efficient means to study the effects of new drugs and treatments. By using animal models of infection, researchers can make important discoveries about disease prevention, treatment, and management that can help to improve public health and reduce suffering from infectious diseases.
