The Laboratory Primate (Handbook of Experimental Animals)
Publisher: Academic Press | 2005 | ISBN 0120802619 | PDF | 650 pages | 9.4 MB
As with each of the volumes in The Laboratory Animal Series, The Laboratory Primate is a reference book for
anyone who is considering the non-human primate as a research model. The volume provides as much infor-
mation as possible, or details of where to access it, on everything from psychological well-being and environmental
enrichment to procedures and examples of research using the primate model.
Part 1 includes chapters which define the model in such areas as anatomy, reproduction, behaviour, pathology
and the non-human primate relationship to the human. Physiological aspects of subject matter are included in
each chapter, where appropriate. Part 2 deals with aspects of primate management and medical care, always stress-
ing the importance of the psychological and physical well-being of the non-human primate who is acknowledged
and handled as a sentient being throughout the volume. Part 3 details some techniques and procedures that can
be used in research in a primate model and Part 4 then provides examples of current uses of nonhuman primates
in biomedical research.
