Klappentext Comprehensive reference to pathology in small laboratory mammals with an emphasis on pathogenesis and diagnostic features of diseases The Fifth Edition of Pathology of Laboratory Rodents and Rabbits offers a thorough update to this comprehensive reference of diseases in mice, rats, hamsters, gerbils, guinea pigs, chinchillas, and rabbits. Emphasizing explanations of pathogenesis and diagnostically relevant features of diseases, the book is logically organized by species and richly illustrated with 689 color photographs and photomicrographs to show the features of common or classic diseases. This edition adds a new chapter on chinchillas and new information on immunodeficient and humanized mice, as well as updates throughout to reflect new information and changes in the field. The content has been expanded to include diseases and disorders of feral, wild, companion, and livestock counterparts of laboratory rodents and rabbits, including zoonotic diseases. Topics discussed in Pathology of Laboratory Rodents and Rabbits for each species include: Anatomic and physiologic features DNA and RNA viral infections Bacterial, fungal, and parasitic infections Nutritional, metabolic, and toxic disorders Non-neoplastic organ system disorders Neoplasms Pathology of Laboratory Rodents and Rabbits is an essential reference for laboratory animal veterinarians and veterinary anatomic pathologists, as well as clinicians seeing small exotic mammals.
