Contents Notes
v. 1. Essential principles and practices -- v. 2-3. Animal models. This second edition of a text for students specializing in laboratory animal science expands coverage to include material on genetic engineering, phenotype characterization of genetically engineered mice, surgical techniques, monitoring the well-being of animals, and the treatment of pain and suffering in laboratory animals. There is discussion of general methods including experimental design and statistical evaluations, non-surgical and surgical techniques, anesthesia, and post-mortem examinations. Safety and security in facilities is examined, and Australasian legislation and regulation are covered. The book is also useful as a reference for biomedical researchers, managers, quality assurance professionals, and technicians. Hau teaches comparative medicine at the University of Uppsala, Sweden; Van Hoosier, at the University of Washington. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR.
