The Mouse in Biomedical Research: Diseases, Volume 2, Second Edition

This book discusses specific disease causing microorganisms versus the format used in the first edition which discussed infectious diseases affecting specific organs and tissues.   Includes 26 chapters subdivided into RNA viruses and DNA viruses, mycotic and parasitic infections. It provides updates on pathogenesis, epidemiology and prevension of previously recognized murine pathogens.
