Now in its fourth edition, Pathology of Laboratory Rodents and Rabbits has become a standard text for veterinary pathologists, laboratory animal veterinarians, students, and others interested in these species.
* The standard reference on the pathogenesis and cardinal diagnostic features of diseases of mice, rats, hamsters, gerbils, guinea pigs, and rabbits
* Expanded coverage of rabbit disease, normal anatomic features, and biology
* Over 450 color photographs illustrating gross and microscopic pathology
* Companion website offering images from the text in PowerPoint
