Summary

"When looking for books in this field, you may find multidisciplinary books with chapters on toxicology, textbooks about human medicine, or books geared toward the veterinary field, but few that focus on animal hematotoxicology written specifically for laboratory scientists. Animal Hematotoxicology: A Practical Guide for Toxicologists and Biomedical Researchers explores the intersection of these fields and also those areas where the "rules" for human hematology and toxicology do not always apply." "Based on information collated from published papers, textbooks, and unpublished data, this book provides an overview of the discipline, from basic principles to diagnostic evaluation, in a clear and concise manner."--BOOK JACKET.
