ree shrew DB

The tree shrew (Tupaia belangeri), currently placed in the order Scandentia, has a wide distribution in South Asia, Southeast Asia and Southwest China. For several decades, tree shrew, the closest relative of primates, has attracted increasing attention in modeling human diseases and therapeutic responses. It has been used as a viable animal model alternative to rodents and primates in biomedical researches such as hepatitis virus infection, myopia, social stress and depression.树鼩（Tupaia belangeri）目前归入树鼩目（Scandentia），在南亚、东南亚及中国西南地区广泛分布。数十年来，作为与灵长类亲缘关系最近的类群，树鼩在人类疾病建模与治疗应答研究中受到的关注与日俱增。目前它已被用作啮齿类与灵长类动物模型的可行替代方案，应用于肝炎病毒感染、近视、社会应激与抑郁症等生物医学研究领域。
