Tree Shrew as an Emerging Small Animal Model for Human Viral Infection: A Recent Overview

Viruses, 2021
Viral infection is a global public health threat causing millions of deaths. A suitable small animal model is essential for viral pathogenesis and host response studies that could be used in antiviral and vaccine development.

Tupaia GBP1 exploits autophagy to restrict herpes simplex virus type 1 infection

Autophagy Reports, 2022
Macroautophagy/autophagy initiated by STING1 (stimulator of interferon response cGAMP interactor 1) is actively involved in viral infection; and it is known that interferon-inducible guanylate-binding proteins (GBPs) exploit autophagy to defend the host ...

Tree shrews at the German Primate Center [PDF]

Primate Biology, 2015
For many years, Tupaia (family Tupaiidae), most commonly known as tree shrews, have been studied almost exclusively by zoologists resulting in a controversial debate on their taxonomic status among mammals.

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 ...

Revealing histological and morphological features of female reproductive system in tree shrew (Tupaia belangeri) [PDF]

, 2018
The tree shrew has been used as a primate animal model in neuroscience studies but it has only rarely been employed in the study of reproductive systems. This is mainly because we know very little about the histological features of reproductive organs of

Study of chemical communication based on urine in tree shrews Tupaia belangeri (Mammalia: Scandentia: Tupaiidae)

The European Zoological Journal, 2017
Chemical communication plays a key role in mammalian reproductive and social behaviour. The chemical constituents of urine are the main signal resource that can encode sex, quality and social status.
