Other common strains are the Sprague Dawley, Fischer 344, Holtzman albino strains, Long–Evans, and Lister black hooded rats. Inbred strains are also available

GX_P2V is a COVID-19 mutant strain that is fatal to humanized mice with the hACE2 gene. The Chinese government has been performing tests on GX_P2V and
