| Format | PDF E-Book File Size: Varies Category: Avian and Exotic Animal Medicine Specialty: Avian Immunology and Disease Management DESCRIPTION ----------- Avian Immunology, 1st Edition stands as the definitive comprehensive resource for understanding the unique and complex immune system of birds. This authoritative textbook provides veterinary professionals with essential knowledge about avian immunological mechanisms, disease resistance, and immune-mediated disorders specific to domestic poultry, companion birds, and wild avian species. Written by leading experts in avian medicine and immunology, this text bridges the gap between fundamental immunological principles and their practical application in avian health management and disease prevention. The book delivers in-depth coverage of the anatomical and functional aspects of the avian immune system, including the specialized lymphoid organs such as the bursa of Fabricius, thymus, and spleen. Readers will gain critical insights into both innate and adaptive immunity in birds, exploring how these mechanisms differ from mammalian systems and why these differences matter in clinical practice. The text examines immunological responses to viral, bacterial, fungal, and parasitic infections, providing essential context for vaccination strategies and disease control programs. This essential reference also addresses contemporary challenges in avian immunology, including immunosuppressive diseases, vaccine development, immunodiagnostic techniques, and the impact of stress and nutrition on immune function. With detailed illustrations, case studies, and evidence-based protocols, Avian Immunology equips practitioners with the knowledge needed to optimize flock health, diagnose immune-related conditions, and implement effective preventive medicine programs in both commercial and companion bird settings.
