Provides a comprehensive review of the use of nonhuman primates in biomedical research. This title emphasizes the biology and management, diseases, and biomedical models for nonhuman primate species most commonly used in research. It addresses commonly used nonhuman primate biomedical models, offering researchers with species-specific information.
Addresses the biology, husbandry, management, veterinary care, and research application of the laboratory swine. This guide explores important biological features, husbandry, management and quality assurance, veterinary care, and experimental techniques. It is suitable for animal caretakers, investigators, and laboratory animal veterinarians.
Talks about the use of primates in biomedical research, and the husbandry, nutritional requirements, behaviour and breeding of the commonly used species. This book offers information on regulatory requirements, along with sections on experimental models that cover areas of biomedical research, including AIDS, cancer, neurobiology and gene therapy.
Second only to the mouse and rat, Zebrafish are the most popular animal model in biomedical research. This guide covers various aspects pertaining to the use of these organisms including humane care and management, husbandry, compliance, technical procedures, veterinary care, housing, and water quality management.
With laboratory animals, especially rabbits, playing such an important role in biomedical research, the humane care of these animals is an ongoing concern. Thsi book presents basic information and common procedures in detail to provide a quick reference for caretakers, technicians, and researchers in a laboratory setting.
