ABSTRACT
Despite recent advances in molecular techniques, infection studies remain an important tool for biosecurity, veterinary and conservation medicines. Experimental infection studies are performed for many reasons: to investigate causal links between pathogens and disease, to study host species susceptibility, to study immune response to inoculation, to investigate pathogen transmission and to investigate methods for infection control. Experimental infection studies using viruses in reptiles have been conducted sporadically since at least the 1930s and this continues to be a fertile area of research. This review catalogues previously published research in the field. The key parameters of each study are tabulated, providing a summary of more than 100 experiments linked to their original publications. Common themes and trends within the data are discussed.
