Abstract
Actively sensitized Brown Norway rats and guinea pig are useful species for studying drug effects on symptoms of experimental rhinitis. Even if not al l symptoms of human rhinitis can be induced and detected in the same animal species, the predictablity of methods generally used is well acceptable. I n the present review, advantages and disadvantages of experimental methods of rhinitis will be discussed.
