Pathology of the Laboratory Rabbit serves as a "go to� text for all pathologists working on laboratory rabbits in safety assessment studies. The book helps diagnostic veterinary pathologists rule out spontaneous non-clinical disease pathology when assigning cause of death to these animals which are also kept as domestic pets. The book provides a comprehensive text on the spontaneous pathology seen in common laboratory rabbit strains. This is the first book collating information on all organ systems in these strains.
