Spontaneous Pathology of the Laboratory Non-human Primate

Spontaneous Pathology of the Laboratory Non-human Primate

serves as a "go to" resource for all pathologists working on primates in safety assessment studies.

In addition, it helps diagnostic veterinary pathologists rule out spontaneous non-clinical disease pathologies when assigning cause of death to species in zoological collections.

Primate species included are rhesus, cynomolgus macaques and marmosets.

Multi-authored chapters are arranged by organ system, thus providing the necessary information for continued research.

Pathologists often face a lack of suitable reference materials or historical data to determine if pathologic changes they are observing in monkeys are spontaneous or a consequence of other treatments or factors.
