Description
A volume in the Handbook of Experimental Animals series, The Laboratory Primate details the past and
present use of primates in biomedical research, and the husbandry, nutritional requirements, behaviour, and breeding of each of the commonly
used species. Practical information on regulatory requirements, not available in other texts, is covered. Sections on experimental models
cover the major areas of biomedical research, including AIDS, cancer, neurobiology and gene therapy. Assisted reproductive technology,
tissue typing, and minimum group sizes for infectious disease/vaccine studies are also included.
Audience
Researchers & students in biological, veterinary, and medical sciences, researchers in the pharmaceutical industry, commercial toxicological and pathology laboratories
