Intended as a guide to the choice of vertebrate animal models for studies of the treatment and correction of human disease. Investigations included the following animals: dogfish, sturgeons, sculpins, bullfrogs, alligators, baboons, chimpanzees, ferrets, hamsters, manatees, pigs, and rats. Introductory chapters present a phylogenetic classification and discussion of methods, model tables, and human hemostasis. Subsequent chapters contain the results of tests and comparative studies, including bleeding times, clotting times, prothrombin times, fibrinolytic activities, platelet counts, and a number of other measurements and comparisons.
