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 colour diagrams and photographs. The result is a concise, affordable and practical textbook for veterinary students and a handy reference for practitioners. |
