Animal Disease Models
Animal Disease Models
Both animals and people develop many of the same diseases. These animal disease models detail the similarities and differences of diseases between species.
We invite COHA members to share additional Animal Disease Models, using the links below.
Canine degenerative myelopathy (DM) is a slowly, progressive adult-onset neurodegenerative disease causing paralysis similar to human amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS – Lou Gehrig’s disease). Canine
Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) is a hematopoietic tumor of B-cells. It is the most common type of non-Hodgkin lymphoma in both people and dogs, with an annual incidence of 15.5-29.9 per 100,000
Diabetes Mellitus (DM) is not a single disease, but a syndrome characterized by hyperglycemia that result from defects in insulin secretion or insulin sensitivity (in target tissues), or both. Several
Osteosarcoma (OS) is the most common primary bone tumor in both dogs and people. While the disease incidence is relatively low in people (800-1000 cases/year), over 25,000 new cases are diagnosed in
Injury is most commonly observed in the thoracolumbar region, although lower lumbar and cervical injuries are observed at a lower frequency. Intervertebral disc herniation (IVDH)- associated SCI is
Urothelial carcinoma (“UC”, also called transitional cell carcinoma) is the most common type of urinary bladder cancer in dogs and humans. UC comprises ~2% of all cancer in both species, and causes
