Animal models are essential for the development of new anti-infectious *** some bacterial infection models have been established in rodents,small primate models are ***,we report on two bacterial infection models established in tree shrew(Tupaia belangeri chinensis).A burnt skin infection model was induced by dropping 5×106 CFU of Staphylococcus aureus on the surface of a wound after a third degree *** dose of *** caused persistent infection for 7 days and obvious inflammatory response was observed 4 days after inoculation.A Dacron graft infection model,2×106 CFU of Pseudomonas aeruginosa also caused persistent infection for 6 days,with large amounts of pus observed 3 days after *** models were used to evaluate the efficacy of levofloxacin(LEV) and cefoperazone(CPZ),which reduced the viable bacteria in skin to 4log10 and 5log10 CFU/100 mg tissue,*** number of bacteria in graft was significantly reduced by 4log10 CFU/mL treatment compared to the untreated group(P0.05).These results suggest that two bacterial infection models were successfully established in tree shrew using *** and *** addition,tree shrew was susceptible to *** and ***,thus making it an ideal bacterial infection animal model for the evaluation of new antimicrobials.

Breast cancer is a common malignant *** is essential to develop suitable animal models for discovering novel preventive and therapeutic *** shrews(Tupaia belangeri chinensis) have a closer evolutionary relationship with humans than do rodents,which have been widely used in laboratory *** breast tumors were identified in tree shrews in 1960s;however,no detailed studies about tree shrew breast tumors have been conducted to ***,we characterized a spontaneous breast tumor from tree shrews by Haematoxylin Eosin(HE) *** tumor was identified as a papillary *** staining(IHC) for progesterone receptor(PR),Ki-67 and cleaved caspase-3 showed that tumor cells were positive for PR,highly proliferative,and less apoptotic compared to normal breast epithelial ***,the spontaneous tumor of tree shrew is very close to human papillary tumors in terms of morphology and pathology and we concluded that tree shrew may be a suitable animal model for breast cancer research.
