About this title

Review

...this beautifully written and illustrated book will embark the reader on a journey, disclosing in a practical way the mysteries and secrets of immunology... Even if the vet students are the primary targets for this tool, the practitioners will find it extremely useful to read.
―Vets Today, December 2010

...provides a comprehensive immunological guide for veterinary students... presented in a bold, simple and colourful style, and features a vast number of fantastically useful colour photographs, schematic diagrams, and microscopy images... the language used is concise and easy to understand, with technical terminology helpfully explained both within the text, and by the student-friendly glossary... information is displayed logically... affordable, and provides serious value for money considering the quality of the textbook and the relevance of information for veterinary students of all levels, and as a reference text for qualified vets in practice (especially new graduates)... I would definitely recommend it to fellow students!
―Chloe Hannigan, Veterinary Record, January 2011

Veterinary immunology is discussed in enough detail to make this book clinically relevant and useful. Illustrations and photos are used appropriately and add to the content beautifully. This adds a comprehensive yet practical book to the field of veterinary immunology. (4 stars)
―Sara Connolly, DVM, MS, DACVP, University of Illinois College of Veterinary Medicine, Doody's Review Service

This textbook is designed for veterinary undergraduates and introduces the essential concepts of the immune system... The text is beautifully written and supplemented with a wide selection of diagrams and photographs. The histological images are especially useful... recommended as an introductory text for veterinary students. It is also useful for students studying immunology in humans and experimental animals.
―M.J. Stear, The Veterinary Journal, October 2011

From the Back Cover

The author's masterly Clinical Immunology of the Dog & Cat (1st edition 1998, 2nd edition 2008) is used around the world as the text and reference of choice in small animal immunology.

This new textbook, written in consultation with Professor Ronald Schultz, is designed to accompany and complement the teaching of immunology within the veterinary curriculum. The author broadens the range of species covered to include large animals as well as small, provides clear learning objectives, and focuses on immunological principles while applying them to the disease process and to clinical practice.

The book uniquely contains 15 case studies dealing with clinically significant immune-mediated diseases, and is illustrated throughout by top-quality color diagrams and photographs. The result is a concise, affordable and practical textbook for veterinary students and a handy reference for practitioners.
