Establishment of Tree Shrew Animal Model for Kaposi’s Sarcoma-Associated Herpesvirus (HHV-8) Infection

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2021
Kaposi’s sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV) is the most common cause of Kaposi’s sarcoma (KS) and other malignant growths in humans. However, the lack of a KSHV-infected small animal model has hampered understanding of the mechanisms of KSHV infection,

Tree shrew database (TreeshrewDB): a genomic knowledge base for the Chinese tree shrew [PDF]

Scientific Reports, 2014
The tree shrew (Tupaia belangeri) is a small mammal with a close relationship to primates and it has been proposed as an alternative experimental animal to primates in biomedical research. The recent release of a high-quality Chinese tree shrew genome enables more researchers to use this species as the model animal in their studies.

Genome of the Chinese tree shrew [PDF]

Nature Communications, 2013
Chinese tree shrews (Tupaia belangeri chinensis) possess many features valuable in animals used as experimental models in biomedical research. Currently, there are numerous attempts to employ tree shrews as models for a variety of human disorders: depression, myopia, hepatitis B and C virus infections, and hepatocellular carcinoma, to name a few.

A study of Epstein-Barr virus infection in the Chinese tree shrew(Tupaia belangeri chinensis)

Virology Journal, 2017
Background Epstein–Barr virus (EBV) is closely associated with many human diseases, including a variety of deadly human malignant tumours. However, due to the lack of ideal animal models,the biological characteristics of EBV, particularly its function in

Coalescent-based genome analyses resolve the early branches of the euarchontoglires [PDF]

, 2013
Despite numerous large-scale phylogenomic studies, certain parts of the mammalian tree are extraordinarily difficult to resolve. We used the coding regions from 19 completely sequenced genomes to study the relationships within the super-clade ...

Varied behavioral responses induced by morphine in the tree shrew: a possible model for human opiate addiction

Frontiers in Behavioral Neuroscience, 2014
Tree shrews represent a suitable animal model to study the pathogenesis of human diseases as they are phylogenetically close to primates and have a well-developed central nervous system that possesses many homologies with primates.
