Summary:

Natural Pathogens of Laboratory Animals is an essential resource for everyone working with laboratory animals. This important new book informs laboratory animal veterinarians, animal caretakers, research scientists, and others, how natural pathogens of laboratory animals can alter host physiology and compromise the validity of research findings. Brief descriptions of housing systems for pathogen exclusion or containment, and of approaches to pathogen surveillance are provided. The body of the text presents chapters on the most common natural pathogens found in a wide variety of laboratory animals.
