An AIDS vaccine is still elusive and HIV treatment continues to
develop multidrug resistance at alarming rates. Because of the
similarities between HIV and immune deficiency infections in a
variety of animals, it is only natural that scientists use these
animals as models to study pathogenesis, treatment, vaccine
development and many other aspects of HIV.
Part of the series Infectious Agents and Pathogenesis, this
volume reviews the immune deficiency virus in a variety of hosts.
Pathogenesis, vaccine and drug development, epidemiology, and the
natural history of the monkey, mouse, cat, cow, horse, and other
animal viruses are detailed and compared to HIV. Also included are
chapters on the history and future of animal models, as well as a
chapter on ethical and safety considerations in using animal models
for AIDS studies.
