The Laboratory Mouse, Second Edition is a comprehensive book written by international experts. With inclusions of the newly revised European standards on laboratory animals, this will be the most current, global authority on the care of mice in laboratory research. This well-illustrated edition offers new and updated chapters including immunology, viruses and parasites, behavior, enrichment and care standards of laboratory mice across the life sciences, medical and veterinary fields.

Readership: The primary audience for this work is biomedical researchers, laboratory animal veterinarians, and other professionals engaged in laboratory animal sciences, as well as, academic and research libraries. The Laboratory Rat 3rd Edition

• Features four-color illustrations with complete instruction on mouse surgery, anatomy, behavior and care of the mouse in laboratory research
• Offers additional chapters on new mouse strains, phenotyping of strains, bacteria and parasites, and immunology
• Includes the newly revised EU standards on care, as well as, comparisons to standards and regulations in the US and other countries

The volume has been divided up in such a way that the new and/or established researcher can easily track down the most up-to-date information in any one area. While headline-grabbing topics such as mouse genomics and the generation of mouse mutants sit comfortably with the analysis of the total mouse genome, equal importance has been given to the basis of mouse development, pathological anatomy and pathophysiology. Further consideration has been given to husbandry, methodological aspects, alleviation of pain, as well as legal aspects.
