Abstract:
The second edition 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 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.
