The Diseases volume provides thorough reviews of naturally occurring diseases of nonhuman primates, with a section on biomedical models reviewing contemporary nonhuman primate models of human diseases. Each chapter contains an extensive list of bibliographic references, photographs, and graphic illustrations to provide the reader with a thorough review of the subject.
- Fully revised and updated, providing researchers with the most comprehensive review of the use of nonhuman primates in bioledical research
- Addresses commonly used nonhuman primate biomedical models, providing researchers with species-specific information
- Includes four color images throughout
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
