Moving Forward: Recent Developments for the Ferret Biomedical Research Model

ABSTRACT Since the initial report in 1911, the domestic ferret has become an invaluable biomedical research model. While widely recognized for its utility in influenza virus research, ferrets are used for a variety of infectious and noninfectious disease models due to the anatomical, metabolic, and...
