    Definition non-human species used in biomedical research because it can mimic aspects of a biological process or disease found in humans Reference "Elaine A. Ostrander, Ph.D. 'Animal Model' (15.11.2023). National Human Genome Research Institute"
    Comment There are two broad classes of models: those based on analogy (similar structures imply similar functions), and those based on homology (structures derived from the same evolutionary precursor have the same or similar functions). There are four main categories of animal models: 1) induced or experimental models, that attempt to reproduce conditions found in the original species, 2) spontaneous or natural models, that are recognized as being similar to some condition in the original species, 3) negative or nonreactive models, that are the normal counterparts of a disease model, and 4) orphan models, that are animal diseases for which no human or animal counterpart is known.
