ABSTRACT
Translational models have played an important role in the rapid development of safe and effective vaccines and therapeutic agents for the ongoing coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). Animal models recapitulating the clinical and underlying pathological manifestations of COVID-19 have been vital for identification and rational design of safe and effective vaccines and therapies. This manuscript provides an overview of commonly used COVID-19 animal models and the pathologic features of SARS-CoV-2 infection in these models in relation to their clinical presentation in humans. Also discussed are considerations for selecting appropriate animal models for infectious diseases such as COVID-19, the host determinants that can influence species-specific susceptibility to SARS-CoV-2, and the pathogenesis of COVID-19. Finally, the limitations of currently available COVID-19 animal models are highlighted.
