Spontaneous Pathology of the Laboratory Rabbit

Provides a comprehensive text describing the spontaneous pathology seen in the common laboratory rabbit strains. This is the first book collating information on all organ systems in these strains. Rabbits are widely used for experimentation and testing mainly due to practical, rather than scientific, considerations. They are small and usually docile, easily restrained, cheap to maintain, and breed prodigious. Spontaneous Pathology of the Laboratory Rabbit serves as a “go to” text for all pathologists working on laboratory rabbits in safety assessment studies, and to help diagnostic veterinary pathologists rule out spontaneous non-clinical disease pathology when assigning cause of death to these animals which are also kept as domestic pets. Consist of multi-author chapters arranged by Organ systemsProvides color illustrations that depict the most common lesions to augment the descriptionsprovides pathologists with common terms that are compliant with the FDA’s Standard for Exchange of Nonclinical Data (SEND) guidelinesGives references for recommended tissue trimming planes
