Modelo animal de doença: critérios de escolha e espécies de animais de uso corrente

TLDR
Today, "animal model" plows used in virtually every fields of the biological research and should allow next years discussions in philosophical, politics, social, economical and religious fields.
Abstract
OBJETIVO: Delinear os parâmetros que norteiam a escolha de um modelo animal de doenca e verificar na literatura biomedica recente quais as especies animais de uso mais frequente. METODOS: Considerando a revisao da literatura sao discutidos, os conceitos e as caracteristicas de um modelo animal de doenca. Destaca-se o consenso atual sobre quando usar um modelo animal, quais os criterios de sua escolha e os requisitos para um modelo adequado. Descreve quais os tipos de modelos animal de doenca e discute as controversias da similaridade filogenetica e os riscos inerentes a extrapolacao dos modelos para os seres humanos. Baseado em uma pesquisa documental na base de dados da BIREME (Medline, Lilacs, Scielo e Biblioteca Cochrane) investiga quais os animais de experimentacao mais citados nos artigos destas bases de dados. RESULTADOS: Verificou-se que o rato e o camundongo sao os animais mais frequentemente utilizados. O coelho, cao e o suino seguem a lista nas referencias de lingua inglesa. Nas bases de dados da literatura Latino-americana o cao supera o numero de citacoes de coelhos e suinos. Os primatas sao minoria nas citacoes em todas as bases de dados. As revisoes sistematicas tambem tem no rato o maior numero de citacoes, as demais especies sao citadas em igualdade de condicoes. CONCLUSOES: O animal de experimentacao e usado virtualmente em todos os campos da pesquisa biologica nos dias de hoje. A relacao entre os humanos e os animais de outras especies ganhou, atraves dos tempos, contornos mais definidos, a exploracao de outras especies tem regras e uma etica estabelecida, a inducao dos resultados do animal para a especie humana tem criterios claros e objetivos a serem preenchidos. O uso dos modelos experimentais, ou dos modelos animal de doenca, ou dos animais de laboratorio na pesquisa biomedica permite e deverao permitir nos proximos anos discussoes epistemologicas, politicas, sociais, economicas e religiosas.
