Request a sales quote“The Immunology of the Domestic Ruminants” is a comprehensive examination of the biology of the domestic bovine immune systems. It discusses the normal functioning of the immune system in addition to its roles in resistance to infectious and parasitic diseases, as well as other pathological conditions such as chronic inflammatory and immunodeficiency diseases, making use of new data from the bovine genome project as well as any significant breed differences. Encompassing both innate and adaptive immunity, the book systematically covers both the basic and applied aspects of bovine immunology. The immunology of the major bacterial, viral, and parasitic diseases of cattle are described and explained. It also thoroughly reviews bovine vaccines as well as the critical role nutrition plays on the health of the ruminant immune system. Professionals in large animal research and practice will appreciate complete information on all aspects of domestic cattle, sheep and goat immunology in one essential resource.
• Provides an authoritative and comprehensive source of information on the immune systems of domestic cattle as well as sheep and goats in one source
• Links recent basic science to important clinical issues
• Includes current information on vaccines and disease resistance in ruminants
• Discusses the relationship between nutrition and the ruminant immune system

Ian R Tizard
Ian R. Tizard, BVMS, BSc, PhD, DSc (Hons), DACVM, is a Diplomate of the American College of Veterinary Microbiologists and a University Distinguished Professor Emeritus of Immunology, Department of Veterinary Pathobiology, The Texas Veterinary Medical Center at Texas A &M University (TAMU), College Station, Texas, USA. Dr. Tizard earned his Bachelor of Veterinary Medicine and Surgery from the University of Edinburgh, Scotland, in 1965. He then completed a Bachelor of Science in Pathology and a PhD in Immunology. After completing his studies, Dr. Tizard became a Post-Doctoral Fellow at the University of Guelph, where he remained as a professor until 1982 when he moved to TAMU. Dr. Tizard wrote the first standardized textbook on Veterinary Immunology in 1977. This text, now in its 11th edition, is used worldwide, and has played a major role in establishing Immunology among the key disciplines.
