Abstract: Beagles are one of the most commonly used laboratory animals in scientific activities. Due to the stable biological properties, they are being used in many fields of medical disciplines. Beagles are recognized as the most ideal and standard laboratory dogs by experts in medicine and biology because of the consistency in their organ functions, and the well developed circulation system. Meanwhile, they are preferred in safety evaluation and widely used in drug and vaccine industry, as well as in zoonosis studies. This article discusses the application of SPF beagles in life science and provides new ideas for promoting the establishment of SPF beagle models and their research in basic medicine and other fields.
