Virology Animal Models of Infection
Virology animal models of infection are laboratory-based studies that utilize animals to investigate the behavior of viruses in a living organism. By infecting animals with specific virus strains and then observing the progression of infection and its response to antiviral treatments and vaccines, it is possible to gain a better understanding of the effect of viruses on host organisms. This type of research is vital for the advancement of medical treatments and vaccines for viral infections such as HIV/AIDS, influenza, and the SARS-CoV-2 virus, which causes COVID-19. Additionally, these animal models are used to understand how viruses are transmitted and spread, and how they interact with the host environment.
