The reason why rodents are used as test subjects in medical testing is that their genetic, biological and behavior characteristics closely resemble that of humans, and many symptoms of human conditions can be replicated in both mice and rats. Approximately 95 percent of all laboratory animals are mice and rats.
Despite certain differences between people and rodents, the similarities are strong enough to give researchers an enormously powerful and versatile mammalian system in which to study human disease.
