How Ferrets Are Helping Researchers Battle Covid-19

LIKE EVERY ANIMAL MODEL, ferrets have limitations. Thomas Geisbert, a professor of microbiology and immunology at the University of Texas Medical Branch at Galveston, who’s worked with ferrets to study illnesses such as the Ebola virus, says, “They can be difficult to work with because you don’t have as many reagents as you do for mice or monkeys.” Reagents are lab substances that help scientists detect biomarkers.
