The Immunology of the Dog is the first readily available, single-source, comprehensive review of the canine immune system. It covers all immunologic aspects of diseases of the dog and relates recent basic science to important clinical issues. The book sets the foundation with the evolution and domestication of the dog then provides detailed information on immunity to infectious diseases, canine allergic diseases, the top canine autoimmune diseases, and canine immunodeficiencies. This book offers professionals in veterinary research and practice complete information on all aspects of canine immunology in one essential resource.
