Primary research article?

[Deleted]

Not sure if this belongs here or in the general area...basically I'm looking for some help with an assignment for my bio class. We have to give a speech translating a primary scientific research article about an animal disease. I'd love to do my speech on insulinoma or adrenal disease in ferrets but I'm having trouble finding ferret-related primary research. I thought since ferrets get used in lab research maybe I could even find something on their ability to get the cold/flu but no luck so far.

I know some people on here have seriously delved into the science of ferret disease, so I'm hoping someone might have a source for ferret-related primary research articles they'd be willing to share. Thank you!

My favorite places for medicical articles are pubmed and sciencedirect. If you find an article on those websites that you don't have access to, then send me the title and I can try to get access.

www.sciencedirect.com/

You could also post this to the Ferret Health List. They have a number of vets on the board, who could likely point you in the relevant directions:

Has Mustelidmusk/Jennifer come over to this forum yet? If so she could probably help with articles and research on Adrenal

The hard part if finding a primary article. Most articles are reviews of previous research. I might be able to find a couple. I'll post tomorrow if I find anything.

Thank you very much! I did a quick search through Jackie's links and it looked like most of the adrenal/insulinoma papers were reviews, but some of the flu ones looked promising...I probably also have access to them through the college library, just need to schedule computer time there. I have a few weeks to put this together so I'll keep looking, I really do appreciate the help searching.
