In terms of genetic disorders, animals cannot explain their family tree and any disorders their parents/relatives have had.]]> 2018-05-25 15:11:58 UTC https://padlet.com/chentori811/g9zcn44c3ioa/wish/263665531 chentori811 https://padlet.com/chentori811/g9zcn44c3ioa/wish/263666016 Humans and human disorders/diseases are by far studied the most, therefore a deeper understanding of human conditions are present and effectively make humans much easier to diagnose than other animals. ]]> 2018-05-25 15:13:59 UTC https://padlet.com/chentori811/g9zcn44c3ioa/wish/263666016 chentori811 https://padlet.com/chentori811/g9zcn44c3ioa/wish/263666444 Many animals are both physically and genetic more complex than humans, effectively making it harder to diagnose diseases within those species. For example, one kind of water flea has been found to have 25% more genes than us. ]]> 2018-05-25 15:15:57 UTC https://padlet.com/chentori811/g9zcn44c3ioa/wish/263666444 chentori811 https://padlet.com/chentori811/g9zcn44c3ioa/wish/263667013 In the event of a scan or surgery, humans are more aware and informed of what is happening. They have already given consent and are cooperative with the medical team, and therefore the whole process will likely run smoothly. Animals, on the other hand, are not aware of what is happening. Their natural instinct is to get aware from captivity, even if they are in need of help; therefore, they can be much more uncooperative during procedures.]]> 2018-05-25 15:18:24 UTC https://padlet.com/chentori811/g9zcn44c3ioa/wish/263667013 chentori811 https://padlet.com/chentori811/g9zcn44c3ioa/wish/263667875 An example of human condition/treatments being researched far more than animal treatments would be rabies testing. In animals, a diagnosis of rabies must include tissue from at least two locations in the brain, preferably the brain stem and cerebellum; therefore requiring that the animal be euthanized.
Humans, on the other hand, will not need to be euthanized for rabies testing. Instead, tests can be performed on samples of saliva, serum, spinal fluid, and skin biopsies of hair follicles at the nape of the neck. Saliva can be tested by virus isolation or reverse transcription followed by polymerase chain reaction. Serum and spinal fluid are tested for antibodies to rabies virus. Skin biopsy specimens are examined for rabies antigen in the cutaneous nerves at the base of hair follicles.
Clearly, a much wider variety and complicated tests can be performed with humans; this is a result of much more research, time, and money being spent on humans and not animals.
