Hedrich (Institute of Laboratory Science, Hannover Medical School, Germany) brings together 35 chapters by European, Asian, and US scientists to help researchers improve their knowledge about mice used in research. They address mouse genetics, mutant mice, development, gross and pathological anatomy, various systems, immunology, behavior, pathophysiology, neoplasms and infectious diseases, husbandry, methodological aspects, alleviation of pain, legal aspects, and procedures for handling and restraint, routes of administration, collection of bodily fluids, anesthesia, analgesia, euthanasia, imaging, and necroscopy. Along with revised chapters, this edition includes revised European standards on laboratory animals, and new and updated chapters on genomics, the musculoskeletal system, biological rhythms, bacterial and parasitic diseases, enrichment, genetic monitoring, and care standards.
