Degus
The Octodon degus, more commonly known as the trumpet-tailed rat or degu, is a hystricomorph rodent in which congenital, hereditary cataracts occur naturally (Worgul and Rothstein 1975; Tripathi and others 1991). In mildly diabetic degus, cataracts form very rapidly with nuclear opacity developing in 10 to 12 days (Varma and others 1977). Spontaneous lesions from one colony, including cataracts, amyloidosis, and hyperplasia of the islets of Langerhans, were associated with diabetes mellitus (Murphy and others 1980). In addition to cataracts and diabetes, the degu has been used as a model to study the effects of chemotoxic agents on ocular tissue (Weinsieder 1975) and the role of the thymus in immune reactions (Boraker 1975).
