| Book Subtitle | The Laboratory Mouse, Second Edition |
| Book Description | Mice have long been recognized as a valuable tool for investigating the genetic and physiological bases of human diseases such as diabetes, infectious disease, cancer, heart disease, and a wide array of neurological disorders. With the advent of transgenic and other genetic engineering technologies, the versatility and usefulness of the mouse as a model in biomedical research has soared. As a result, mouse colonies everywhere are expanding, and scientists who previously focused on other models are turning their attention to the mouse. Revised to reflect advances since the first edition, The Laboratory Mouse, Second Edition continues to be the most accessible reference on the biology and care of the laboratory mouse. This guide presents basic information and common procedures in detail to provide a quick reference source for investigators, technicians, and caretakers in the humane care and use of the mouse in the laboratory setting. Expanded, updated, and now in color, this new edition includes coverage of the biological features, husbandry, management, veterinary care, experimental methodology, and resources applying specifically to the mouse. |
| Editorial Review | "This latest in-color edition includes new discussions on disease prevention and testing, transportation, and phenotyping... Overall, this book is well-written and highly applicable to today's laboratory animal care and use programs ... Like the first edition, it is a 'must have' for any reference library." -Robin Crisler-Roberts, DVM, MS, DACLAM, Indiana University School of Medicine, Indianapolis, USA |
