The 2e of the gold standard text in the field, Nonhuman Primates in Biomedical Research provides a comprehensive, up-to-date review of the use of nonhuman primates in biomedical research. The Biology and Management volume provides basic information on the natural biology of nonhuman primates and the current state of knowledge regarding captive management. Each chapter contains an extensive list of bibliographic references, photographs, and graphic illustrations to provide the reader with a thorough review of the subject.
- Now in four color throughout, making the book more visually stimulating to enhance learning and ease of use
- Fully revised and updated, providing researchers with the most comprehensive review of the use of nonhuman primates in biomedical research
- Addresses commonly used nonhuman primate biomedical models, providing researchers with species-specific information
Researchers working with nonhuman primates and those dealing with laboratory animal husbandry; Veterinarians in private practice who work with nonhuman primates; Biologists and zoologists who wish to expand their knowledge of nonhuman primates
