Thyroid Disease in Rabbits and Rodents

Veterinary Clinics of North America: Exotic Animal Practice
While thyroid disease is generally uncommon in rabbits and rodents, it is most frequently diagnosed in guinea pigs. Particularly, hyperthyroidism and thyroid neoplasms are diagnosed regularly in this species, while thyroid neoplasia is the most common thyroid disorder found in other rodents.

Inducible rodent models of acquired podocyte diseases.

AJP - Renal Physiology, 2009
Glomerular diseases remain the leading cause of chronic and end-stage kidney disease. Significant advances in our understanding of human glomerular diseases have been enabled by the development and better characterization of animal models.

Overview on Rodent Models of Alzheimer's Disease

Current Protocols in Neuroscience, 2005
AbstractIn Alzheimer's disease (AD), characteristic lesions develop in brain regions that subserve cognitive functions, ultimately leading to dementia. There are now several lesioned or transgenic small‐animal models of the disease that model select aspects of cognitive deficits and/or recapitulate many, but not all, of the characteristic pathologic ...

Genetic Rodent Models of Huntington Disease

2018
The monogenic nature of Huntington disease (HD) has led to the development of a spectrum of useful genetically modified models. In particular, rodents have pioneered as the first HD model being generated and have since been the most widely used animal model for HD in both basic research and preclinical therapeutic studies.

Parkinson’s disease: a rethink of rodent models

Experimental Brain Research, 2006
Parkinson's disease (PD) is a multifactorial disease with a complex etiology that results from genetic risk factors, environmental exposures and most likely a combination of both. Rodent models of parkinsonism aim to reproduce key pathogenic features of the syndrome including movement disorder induced by the progressive loss of dopaminergic neurons in ...

Vector- and Rodent-Borne Diseases in Europe and North America: Distribution, Public Health Burden, and Control

, 2006
There are a significant number of diseases carried by insects such as mosquitoes or sand flies or by ticks, mites and rodents, and these are far more common than is often realized. New diseases are constantly being discovered and are becoming more widely

Protozoal diseases of rabbits and rodents

Seminars in Avian and Exotic Pet Medicine, 1995
Protozoal parasites have been reported in rabbits and a variety of rodents. In many cases, the organisms are coincidental commensals, and no disease is present. In others, protozoa may cause problems as secondary invaders in debilitated/immunocompromised hosts or as primary pathogens.

Pharmacological Models of Parkinson’s Disease in Rodents

2011
Parkinson's disease (PD) is one of the most common neurodegenerative disorders. Despite the substantial progress that has been achieved, the precise mechanisms involved in the development of this disease are still not fully understood. The most common concepts relate to the genetic background and environmental/toxic effects.
