Veterinary Immunology: An Introduction, 10th Edition, serves as an introductory textbook written for veterinary practitioners. Authored by Ian R. Tizard, the text addresses foundational immunology across domestic animals, marine mammals, and both large and small animals.
The volume outlines fundamental biological mechanisms, including innate defenses, cytokine signaling, adaptive immune pathways, and interactions with the microbiota. It also examines protection against major classes of pathogens, principles of vaccination, and immune-mediated disorders such as allergies and autoimmune conditions.
Throughout the work, clinical examples show how practitioners experience and address immunologic principles in practice. The 2017 release also introduces improved illustrations intended to clarify new material and reinforce comprehension.
