Description
Currently the ontology only contains one subclass: human. To represent the studies in the LLM project, should we add some other groups? for example mammals (maybe swine?, cattle?), poultry (maybe Galloanserae https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/Taxonomy/Browser/wwwtax.cgi?command=show&mode=tree&id=1549675&lvl=3), rodents, chiroptera for diseases like avian flu etc. ?

Research direction
Start by reviewing the ontology's current human subclass and the studies in the LLM project that motivate broader host coverage. Use the linked NCBI Taxonomy entry to investigate the proposed poultry grouping, then clarify which mammals, poultry, rodents, and bats are required. Done means the agreed host hierarchy is represented without leaving the scope ambiguous.
