Veterinary medicine: infectious diseases & therapeutics

Aimed at the busy practicing bovine veterinarian, students in their clinical years, and professionals in allied fields, this book focuses on the various aspects of bovine immunology. Maintaining a functioning immune system is critical for not only protecting the health and welfare of cattle but also to maximize profitability from any cattle enterprise. Those working in the field find themselves dealing daily with the application of immunologic concepts, be it for our understanding of vaccines, infectious diseases, or non-infectious syndromes.

Structured in two parts, the volume begins concept-focused with key components of the immune system. Throughout, you will always find examples of important species differences as they relate to cattle. Chapters in the second part are systems-focused, covering areas of application and novel concepts in bovine immunology. Each contribution ends with a vivid case study that highlights utilization of the covered material. The cases are followed by key questions that apply concepts to practical situations. Answers are carefully provided in the book´s appendix.

Rather than a comprehensive textbook on immunology, this guide stresses applications and common questions arising in day-to-day bovine practice. Aspiring specialists will likewise appreciate this illustrative reference with accessible readability.
