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. Contains color illustrations that depict the most common lesions to augment descriptions - Covers descriptions that are compliant with the International Harmonization of Nomenclature and Diagnostic Criteria (INHAND) guidelines set forth by the Society of Toxicologic Pathology (STP) - Provides pathologists with common terms that are compliant with the FDA’s Standard for Exchange of Nonclinical Data (SEND) guidelines “[A] reliable resource of consolidated references for pathologic processes in non-human primates,... a worthy objective as there are few dedicated pathology books in this arena.... This book is for pathologists working on primates in safety assessment studies and diagnostic veterinary pathologists working on non-human primates…. [and] would also be an asset for pathology residents and veterinary students seeking careers in laboratory animal medicine or laboratory animal pathology…. The systems chapters are the best aspect of the book. They provide good detail on pathologic processes based on organ system…. Overall, this is a useful book that consolidates knowledge from scattered resources on non-human primate pathology. Pathologists, residents, and students can use this book as a good starting point for disease investigation. --©Doody’s Review Service, 2024, Jonathan Samuelson, DVM MS (University of Illinois College of Veterinary Medicine) Comprehensive text that describes the spontaneous pathology seen in common laboratory primates, including rhesus, cynomolgus macaques and marmosets Spontaneous Pathology of the Laboratory Non-human Primate serves as a "go to" resource for all pathologists working on primates in safety assessment studies.
