The Common Marmoset in Captivity and Biomedical Research is the
first text dedicated exclusively to this species,filling an urgent
need for an encyclopedic compilation of the existing information.
Sponsored by the American College of Laboratory Animal Medicine as
part of its authoritative Blue Book series, the book covers the
biology,management, diseases, and clinical and research
applications of this important species. The common marmoset
(Callithrix jacchus) has come of age in the scientific community as
a behaviorally complex, cognitively advanced,small, prolific, and
easily maintained nonhuman primate with many of the advantages of
larger animals, such as macaques, but without the attendant
physical and zoonotic risks. Marmosets are currently being used in
diverse areas of inquiry, including vision and auditory research,
infectious disease, cognitive neuroscience, behavior, reproductive
biology, toxicology and drug development, and aging. The marmoset
genome has been sequenced and there is currently an intensive
effort to apply gene editing technologies to the species. The
creation of transgenic marmosets will provide researchers with a
small nonhuman primate model to study a number of poorly understood
disorders, like autism.
