The First Edition of this book (1999) was greeted by critical acclaim,
became a bestseller and was translated into many languages. It proved
useful for veterinarians in general practice who may have had limited
exposure to the subject of immunology in training to help translate
theory into clinical practice.
The book details the manifestations, diagnosis and treatment of immune-related
disease in the dog and cat. It is illustrated throughout in full colour,
to show and explain to the reader as clearly as possible the complicated
principles of disease and immunodiagnostic tests, supported by clinical
cases, gross and histopathology, cytology, haematology, immunohistochemistry
and other immunological tests.
Since publication of the First Edition many advances have been made
and the Second Edition incorporates these changes in focus and on
techniques. There is an additional chapter on respiratory and cardiac
disease, and given the continued focus of companion animal practitioners
on vaccine-related issues, a new chapter is devoted entirely to the
subject of vaccinology. The Second Edition includes approximately
200 new photographic images, an updated list of further reading and
an extensive glossary of terms.

Review of the First Edition:
“It is rare to come across a text on an aspect of small animal veterinary
medicine that fills a niche so well. The book sets the standard for texts
on small animal immunology…... will make an excellent addition to any contemporary
veterinary library.” J.S.A.P. |
