Description Diseases, the second volume in the four volume set, The Mouse in Biomedical Research, departs from the
first edition, by discussing specific disease causing microorganisms, rather than the format used in the first edition which discussed
infectious diseases affecting specific organs and tissues. As such, the volume consists of 26 chapters subdivided into RNA viruses and
DNA viruses, as well as bacterial, mycotic, and parasitic infections. These chapters not only provide updates on pathogenesis, epidemiology
and prevention of previously recognized murine pathogens, but also include information on newly recognized disease-causing organisms:
mouse parvovirus, cilia associated respiratory bacilli and Helicobacter spp. A separate category, consisting of 3 chapters, discusses
zoonoses, tumor pathology of genetically engineered mice, and spontaneous diseases in commonly used mouse strains.
