Laboratory Animal Medicine, Fourth Edition – A volume in the American College of Laboratory Animal Medicine (ACLAM) blue books series – is the most authoritative reference on Laboratory Animals biology, health, and care. Edited by recognized experts in laboratory animal science, endorsed as the official material for certification by ACLAM, this reference defines the standard for all aspects of humane animal use and scientific investigations.This new edition implements significant changes in the area. The Animal Welfare chapter moved to the beginning of the book, highlighting this subject’s importance, and was expanded to include Euthanasia, previously covered on the anesthesia chapter. Further updates include the addition of hamsters & gerbils to the Guinea Pig chapter, the woodchuck and chinchillas are now included in the other rodents’ chapter, instead of a dedicated chapter. The non-human primates’ chapter was separated into two chapters: New and Old-World primates. The zebra finch and quail chapters were combined and now also include pigeons. The chapter on genetically modified animals was expanded to include additional CRISPR manipulation and genetic monitoring in key model species. The Microbiome Research chapter was added to account for this key factor and its importance in research. A chapter on transplant medicine was added and also covers xenozoonoses.The species-specific chapters are written at a level suitable for veterinarians and research scientists. Management chapters are suitable for program directors and facility managers both in academic and corporate settings. This edition continues the tradition of Laboratory Animal Medicine in setting the standards for the Laboratory Animal Science community, expanding, and updating the coverage following current and future practice in the area.

Anesthesia and Analgesia in Laboratory Animals focuses on the special anesthetic, analgesic and postoperative care requirements associated with experimental interventions. Fully revised and updated, this new edition provides the reader with agents, methods and techniques for anesthesia and analgesia that ensure humane, reproducible, and successful procedural outcomes. Sections cover ethical, regulatory and scientific considerations, principles of anesthesia and analgesia, anesthetic equipment and monitoring, periprocedural care, including dedicated chapters to the assessment and management of pain in laboratory species, and practical considerations by species, including relevant anatomy, physiology, and behavior of a broad range of lab animal species. This will be a complete reference for veterinarians involved in lab animal research as well as senior graduate, graduate students, post-docs and researchers who utilize animals in biomedical research.

Patient Derived Tumor Xenograft Models: Promise, Potential and Practice offers guidance on how to conduct PDX modeling and trials, including how to know when these models are appropriate for use, and how the data should be interpreted through the selection of immunodeficient strains. In addition, proper methodologies suitable for growing different type of tumors, acquisition of pathology, genomic and other data about the tumor, potential pitfalls, and confounding background pathologies that occur in these models are also included, as is a discussion of the facilities and infrastructure required to operate a PDX laboratory.

The Dissection of Vertebrates, Second Edition, provides students with a manual that combines pedalogical effective text with high-quality, accurate, and attractive visual references. Using a systemic approach within a systematic framework for each vertebrate, this book covers several animals commonly used in providing an anatomical transition sequence. Seven animals are covered: lamprey, shark, perch, mudpuppy, frog, pigeon, and cat. This updated version include a revised systemic section of the introductory chapter; corrections to several parts of the existing text and images; new comparative skull sections included as part of the existing vertebrates; and a companion site with image bank. This text is designed for 2nd or 3rd year university level comparative vertebrate anatomy courses. Such courses are usually two-semester courses, and may either be a required course or an elective. It is typically a required course for Biology and Zoology majors, as well as for some Forensics and Criminology programs, and offered as an elective for many other non-zoology science majors.
