Abstract
The author discusses the significant role of the so-called wild species — those not usually considered as laboratory animals — in the advancement of biomedical research. He emphasizes the more valid data obtained during experiments on wild rather than pure-bred laboratory strains when extrapolating the results to man.Keywords
