Both a theoretical text and a practical handbook, Vaccines for
Veterinarians is the first of its kind to bring the basic science
of animal vaccination and the practical details of vaccine use
together in one single volume. From the first chapter on the
history of vaccination and the triumph of rinderpest eradication to
the last chapter on the rapidly emerging field of cancer vaccines,
this book offers a truly comprehensive grounding in established and
emerging vaccines for both major and minor species. Specific topics
include viral vectored vaccines, DNA-plasmid vaccines, RNA
vaccines, reverse vaccinology, the complexities of adjuvant use,
vaccine failures and adverse events, vaccine production and
regulation, robotic vaccination machines, contraceptive and
production-enhancing vaccines, and so much more. At a time when
resistance to human vaccination is receiving much publicity, this
evidence-based book is the ideal counter to ill-informed
speculation - serving as a timely reminder that vaccination is
essential for the control of infectious diseases in animals.
Well-respected and experienced veterinary author, Ian Tizard,
provides expert guidance on the topic of vaccinations and
immunology in veterinary medicine. Expert Consult site offers an
online version of the book, making it easy to search the entire
book electronically. The latest information on viral vectored
vaccines keeps you up-to-date on the topic as well as the
properties and relative advantages of currently used vectors in
animal vaccines. Survey of vaccine responses covers the different
mechanisms by which the immune system responds to different types
of vaccines. Inclusion of the latest vaccine technologies discusses
the advantages and disadvantages of DNA-plasmid vaccines, RNA
vaccines, and more. Coverage of adverse events and
hypersensitivities includes the best ways to treat them and report
them. Coverage of passive immunization discusses the growing use of
therapeutic monoclonal antibodies in veterinary medicine. Coverage
of immunotherapy includes recent improvements and new products in
both active and passive immunotherapy against animal cancers.
