Infos

This text provides a comprehensive review of the pathology of simian primates and of the relevant recent literature. It systematically covers all organ systems, as well as the pathology of some common inflammatory and parasitic diseases and cancer. The comparative approach used, in which the pathological processes found in humans is contrasted to those of primates, may provide a deeper appreciation of the conditions encountered in primates. The book should be of interest to researchers in human and veterinary pathology, and postgraduate students in medical and veterinary sciences.
