| Format | PDF E-Book File Size: Varies Category: Comparative Immunology & Veterinary Medicine Specialty: Aquatic Animal Medicine, Immunology, Evolutionary Biology DESCRIPTION ----------- Immunobiology of the Shark represents a groundbreaking exploration of the immune system of one of evolution's most successful vertebrates. This comprehensive veterinary textbook delves into the unique immunological mechanisms that have enabled sharks to thrive for over 400 million years, offering invaluable insights into comparative immunology and its applications in modern veterinary medicine. The text bridges fundamental research with clinical applications, examining how the shark's remarkably efficient immune system differs from mammalian models and what these differences reveal about vertebrate immunity as a whole. This authoritative resource provides detailed coverage of both innate and adaptive immune responses in elasmobranchs, including the structure and function of immunoglobulins, lymphoid tissues, and cellular defense mechanisms unique to cartilaginous fish. The book explores cutting-edge research on shark antibodies, which have garnered significant attention in biomedical research due to their stability and potential therapeutic applications. Readers will gain comprehensive understanding of how environmental factors, including salinity, temperature, and pollutants, influence immune function in these apex predators. Written by leading experts in comparative immunology and aquatic animal medicine, this text serves as an essential reference for veterinarians working with elasmobranchs in aquarium settings, researchers investigating evolutionary immunology, and professionals seeking to understand the broader implications of comparative immune system studies. The content integrates molecular biology, cellular immunology, and clinical applications, making it an indispensable resource for advancing both theoretical knowledge and practical veterinary care of sharks and related species. KEY FEATURES ------------ • Comprehensive analysis of shark innate and adaptive immune systems, including novel immunoglobulin structures and their evolutionary significance • Detailed examination of lymphoid organs and tissues specific to elasmobranchs, including the epigonal organ, Leydig organ, and spiral valve • In-depth coverage of cellular immune responses, including leukocyte populations, phagocytic mechanisms, and cytokine networks in cartilaginous fish • Exploration of humoral immunity, antibody diversity, and the unique characteristics of shark immunoglobulins (IgM, IgW, and IgNAR) • Clinical applications for aquarium veterinarians, including disease susceptibility, vaccination strategies, and health management protocols • Comparative immunology perspectives highlighting evolutionary relationships between shark and mammalian immune systems • Current research on biomedical applications of shark immune components, including antimicrobial peptides and therapeutic antibody development TARGET AUDIENCE --------------- • Aquatic and zoo veterinarians managing elasmobranch collections in public aquariums and research facilities • Veterinary immunologists and researchers specializing in comparative immunology and evolutionary biology • Graduate students and academics studying aquatic animal medicine, marine biology, or vertebrate immunology • Biomedical researchers investigating novel therapeutic approaches derived from shark immune system components • Wildlife veterinarians and conservation specialists working with shark populations and elasmobranch health monitoring INSTANT ACCESS -------------- Download immediately after purchase Compatible with all PDF readers Personal use license included PRICE: HK$460.00 |
