Studysummary This article reviews small animal experiments reported from 1932 to 1952 in two dermatology journals and notes the contributions of Farris's book on laboratory animal care. Our plain-language summary of this paper — not a Tressless recommendation.

The paper reviews the significant contributions of small animal experiments to dermatology, focusing on articles from the A.M.A. Archives of Dermatology and Syphilology and the Journal of Investigative Dermatology between 1932 and 1952. Approximately 90 articles from the former and 100 from the latter journal were analyzed. The selection of species for these studies was influenced by a survey of animals used by American researchers and presentations at scientific meetings.
