Nonhuman Primates in Biomedical Research, Volume 2, Diseases, 2nd Edition

By Christian R. Abee, Suzette Tardif, Keith Mansfield and Timothy Morris

Nonhuman Primates in Biomedical Research, Volume 2, Diseases, 2nd Edition 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
