Veterinary Immunology: Principles and Practice has become the adopted text in numerous veterinary schools throughout the world. Widely updated with advances in knowledge since 2011, this second edition reflects the rapid development in the field.

The new edition presents expanded information on commonly used diagnostic test procedures and discusses newly arising diseases such as bovine neonatal pancytopenia. Maintaining the same reliable format as its predecessor, the book includes:

Learning objectives at the start of each chapter
Key points at the end of each chapter
17 clinical case studies demonstrating clinical context for the material covered in the chapters
Standard symbols in diagrams throughout the text to provide continuity
Clinical examples and clinicopathological figures throughout
A glossary of terms and list of commonly used abbreviations
Exploring the immunological concerns of both large animals and small, the book emphasizes immunological principles while applying them to the disease process and to clinical practice. It provides a practical textbook for veterinary students and a handy reference for practitioners.
