Learning from Disease in Pets: A 'One Health' Model for Discovery
is the first encompassing reference guide for veterinarians,
researchers and physicians on conducting studies using spontaneous
models of disease in animals. The study of naturally occurring
disease in (pet) animals can help model our understanding of the
biology, prevention and therapy of human and animal diseases.
Studies of pet dogs, for instance, can aid treatment of complex
medical problems such as cancer, orthopedic, cardiopulmonary, and
neuro-inflammatory diseases, and zoonotic infections. Each chapter
within this novel cross-species approach is contributed by a
leader, or leaders, in their field of research. Using clinical
trials to learn how pets with real diseases respond to therapy can
lead to breakthroughs in human medicine, as well as benefiting pets
suffering from otherwise debilitating illness. Despite similarities
of diseases across species, there are very few spontaneous models
of disease used in research compared with models where disease is
induced in healthy laboratory animals. Many medical researchers and
veterinarians have a multitude of questions regarding how to use
naturally occurring diseases in pets for the discovery of
treatments and diagnostics: this book will demonstrate how to
safely make this happen. This book encourages veterinarians to
build on and disseminate existing findings for the wider benefit of
pets and humans. Many pets suffering from incurable illnesses may
benefit from clinical trials; the book includes a section on the
imperative communication styles necessary within the research
environment and with clients, a compelling discussion on the ethics
of using pets in veterinary clinical research, comprehensive tables
of diseases that spontaneously occur in animals and humans, the
regulatory requirements necessary to move therapy from benchside
research to patient bedside, as well as intricate details on how to
design a robust clinical study.
