Exploring the immunologic concerns of both large and small animals, Veterinary Immunology,11th Edition is the only complete resource on immunology for veterinary practitioners. This new edition has been meticulously updated to continue its trend of incorporating the latest advances and topics in the field. It features a straightforward presentation of basic immunologic principles along with thorough and timely information on the most significant immunologic diseases and responses seen in domestic animals. Vibrant images and wealth of clinical examples give you a better understanding of complex topics and concepts and how they come in to play during professional practice.
