Introduction
Rodents, non-human primates, dogs, cats, and
farm animals have long been the preferred animal models in biomedical research.
their behavioral repertoire and physiological responses to stimuli are more
similar to human systems than are lower organisms. However, as amphibians, fish
and reptiles become better understood in the field and laboratory, their
advantages as alternative animal models are being revealed.
While there are about 4,000 known species of
mammals, there are over 4,000 species of amphibian, 6,000 species of reptiles,
and more than 20,000 species of fish. Such diversity allows for a wide range of
research on specific organs, tissues, and systems that are similar in function,
but often less complex than in mammals. Due to differential rates of ova
maturation and numbers of gametes produced, elasmobranchs (sharks, skates,
rays) are used to study fetal nutrition and toxicology as well as
gametogenesis. The monkfish is an important insulin resource for researchers
since it contains 20 to 40 times more insulin-producing tissue than the
laboratory rat.
Reptiles and amphibians contribute to studies
in genetics, embryology, developmental biology, ethology, endocrinology, and
immunology. Salamanders and newts are models for limb regeneration. Fetal heart
cells of the axolotl (Mexican salamander) will divide and beat in vitro.
Frogs have played a major role in the development of communication theory. The
common anole lizard is used in behavioral studies and can be induced to produce
the symptoms of Parkinson=s disease. Typical reptile and amphibian studies include aggression,
stress physiology, reproductive cycles and dysfunction, and the effects of
neurotoxins.
In contrast to mammals and birds which are
endothermic (their body temperature is regulated and maintained internally),
reptiles, amphibians, and fish are ectothermic with body temperature primarily
regulated by ambient temperatures. Since metabolism is driven by body
temperature, the rate of normal body functions in these species may be
artificially increased or decreased. Thus endocrine, immunological,
inflammation, cell physiology, and many other pathways can be easily
manipulated.
A major concern to those who might use these
species is the necessity of providing a suitable laboratory environment. Unlike
mammals and birds, reptiles, amphibians and fish require very specific
micro environments. For reptiles and amphibians, basking sites, water source and
water temperature, relative humidity, photo period and type of lighting, ambient
temperature, group density, cover, method of food preparation and presentation
are all factors that influence whether or not the animals will function
normally in the laboratory. Fish live in a totally aqueous environment. Type of
water (fresh, salt, brackish), pH, salinity, school density, cover, dissolved
oxygen, lighting, and filtration are necessary considerations that require
monitoring. The animal=s
needs are often species-specific and failure to meet them results in
stress-induced diseases, low growth rate, poor feed efficiency, cannibalism,
and failure to reproduce.
Information Resources on Amphibians, Fish
& Reptiles Used in Biomedical Research is an attempt to collect in a single volume much of the current
information regarding the care and use of these alternative animal models. It
is intended only as an introduction to these species as comprehensive coverage
would fill several volumes. The authors have selected sample articles that
typify recent research. Each animal group has a section of articles and books
pertaining to its use in biomedical research followed by a section on its care
and use. The latter section highlights not only husbandry and maintenance of
particular species, but also regulations, guidelines, and veterinary aspects
such as appropriate anesthesia or euthanasia. Because several citations cross
phyla, general sections are provided. A final section provides information
resources with names and addresses of organizations and their publications that
can provide further information. If the citation can be found at the National
Agricultural Library (NAL), its call number is given. Information
on how to request materials that are included in the collection of the
National Agricultural Library (NAL) may be found on the Collection Services website at http://www.nal.usda.gov/services/request.shtml. Please read carefully as there are certain
restrictions on media and
document types.
