Volume III covers the use of laboratory animals as models for man in a range of biomedical research disciplines. The individual chapters focus on the use of animal models in very different research areas. Each chapter can be read as a stand-alone text without the necessity to consult other chapters for information, although the entire handbook is an integrated text with respect to giving an in-depth introduction to laboratory animal science. With contributions from eminent scientists who share their knowledge and hands-on expertise from their own research, this is a critical resource for veterinary and biomedical researchers, laboratory managers and administrators, and other laboratory animal professionals.
