The Ferret: An Animal Model to Study Influenza Virus

Lab Animal volume 33, pages 50–53 (2004)Cite this article

Abstract

There has been much critical influenza research conducted in a little-known laboratory animal—the ferret. The authors review some of these findings, discuss the reasons the ferret often becomes a model for influenza infection, and compare the ferret with other animal models.
