Now in its fourth edition, "Pathology of Laboratory Rodents
and Rabbits" has become a standard text for veterinary pathologists,
laboratory animal veterinarians, students, and others interested in
these species. Organized by species, coverage includes mice, rats,
hamsters, gerbils, guinea pigs, and rabbits with each chapter including
pathogenesis and cardinal diagnostic features of naturally occurring
diseases of laboratory animals.
Newly in color, this new edition
features updates throughout, including expanded coverage on relevant
normal anatomic features and biology of each species, as well as
extensively expanded coverage of rabbit diseases. Diseases covered
include viral infections, bacterial infections, parasitic diseases,
nutritional and metabolic disorders, behavioral disorders, aging and
degenerative disorders, environment-related disease, and neoplasia.
Designed
for ease of use, "Pathology of Laboratory Rodents and Rabbits" provides
easily accessible information on key diagnostic features, differential
diagnoses, and significance of diseases. A companion website offers
images from the book in PowerPoint for download.
