    The human pathogen
    Helicobacter pylori
    causes inflammation in the stomach of infected hosts, leading in some cases to the development of gastric cancer. Several mouse models have been developed to study
    Helicobacter
    -induced carcinogenesis with similarities to gastric adenocarcinoma and mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue lymphoma (MALToma) in humans. These models require chronic infection of animals with mouse-colonizing isolates of
    H. pylori
    or with related gastric
    Helicobacter
    spp., such as the canine/feline species
    Helicobacter felis
    . Furthermore, consistent with the known influence of host and environmental factors in human gastric cancer, it is possible to manipulate the type and severity of gastric lesions in mouse
    Helicobacter
    infection models through the use of different mouse genetic backgrounds and/or by the administration of known cocarcinogens, such as alkylating agents (e.g.,
    N
    -nitroso-
    N
    -methylurea), or even elevated quantities of dietary salt. Here, we describe protocols for the inoculation of mice with gastric
    Helicobacter
    spp. and the administration of these cocarcinogens. Furthermore, we will describe the various methodologies used to study gastric inflammation and carcinogenesis in
    Helicobacter
    -infected animals.
