Klappentext 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.Key Features* The standard reference on the pathogenesis and cardinal diagnostic features of diseases of mice, rats, hamsters, gerbils, guinea pigs and rabbits* Expanded coverage of rabbit disease, normal anatomic features, and biology* Over 450 color photographs illustrating gross and microscopic pathology * Companion website offering images from the text in PowerPoint Zusammenfassung 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.
