Even though Xenopus is one of the two most popular non-mammalian
animals used in biomedical research, its value in the lab suffers
from a lack of standardization regarding their optimal care,
breeding, and housing. Filling the need for such a reference, The
Laboratory Xenopus sp provides researchers and lab managers with a
practical, step-by-step manual that emphasizes the humane care and
use of captive clawed frogs in basic as well as biomedical, and
toxicological research. The Only Book of Its Kind Available to
Researchers Amply illustrated with 50 color illustrations of
management practices and technical procedures, this how-to guide:
Offers quick reference on the humane care and use of clawed frogs
in the laboratory Illustrates management practices and technical
procedures with figures and tables Provides sources of additional
information on frogs, feed, and sanitation supplies Supported with
hypothesis-driven research, this well-organized manual explores the
full range of responsibilities facing individuals who work with
this species. The content is divided into intentionally brief
sections that allow for the quick retrieval of essential
information regarding important biological features and
experimental methodology, as well as compliance and veterinary
care, husbandry, housing, and water quality management. The book
has an accompanying website with more information, including
interesting frog trivia.
