Animal models of human respiratory syncytial virus disease

Abstract: Bem RA, Domachowske JB, Rosenberg HF. Animal models of human respiratory syncytial virus disease. Am J Physiol Lung Cell Mol Physiol 301: L148 -L156, 2011. First published May 13, 2011; doi:10.1152/ajplung.00065.2011.-Infection with the human pneumovirus pathogen, respiratory syncytial virus (hRSV), causes a wide spectrum of respiratory disease, notably among infants and the elderly. Laboratory animal studies permit detailed experimental modeling of hRSV disease and are therefore indispensable in the search fo… Show more

“…Extrapolating from pre-clinical models is therefore difficult and they remain imprecise guides to understanding both mechanisms of protection and pathogenesis, as well as the likely clinical efficacy of candidate vaccines and therapeutics [5]. Most animals are at most semi-permissive to human RSV and require large, supra-physiological inocula to become infected.…”

“…Although animal models of RSV infection provide mechanistic insights, they do not recapitulate all aspects of human disease and remain imprecise guides to the clinical efficacy of vaccines (12). Investigation of hospitalized children and high-risk adults allows natural disease to be observed, but cannot correlate prior immune status with susceptibility to infection.…”

“…These models provide a more dynamic and flexible setting to test hypotheses in vivo, addressing some of those inquiries regarding the mechanism of disease pathogenesis. Ultimately, animal models are necessary tools to assess the safety and efficacy of novel vaccines and therapeutics during preclinical trials [67].…”

“…Heterologous host-virus models involve the infection of semi-permissive animals like chimpanzees, sheep, cotton rats and mice with human RSV [6,67]. On the other hand, cognate host-virus models are based on other pneumoviruses infecting their natural hosts.…”
