Services Abstract:
Animal models have been crucial in our understanding of human physiology, anatomy and disease. In infectious diseases, much of the knowledge we have gained has depended on animal models and many new treatments have been developed from this work. But differences exist in the progression of a disease in different species and therefore, animal models are not a completely accurate guide. Using work carried out on respiratory syncytial virus, a major cause of respiratory infections in children, we will talk about the breakthroughs and pitfalls of using mouse models in medical research and improvements that can be made to aid further innovations and therapies for man.
