This represents the third volume of the series entitled Comparative
PathobioZogy. The chapters included represent the proceedings of a
symposium held at Oregon State University, Corvallis, on August
16-22, 1975. The symposium was co-sponsored by the Society for
Invertebrate Pathology (SIP) and the American Society of Zoologists
(ASZ). In recent years there has been an impressive increase in
interest in comparative immunology, i. e., a comparative approach
to understanding how animals, both vertebrates and invertebrates,
defend themselves against nonself materials. Ever since
Metchnikoff's pioneering studies during the late l800s on the role
of phagocytes of invertebrates, which led to his theory of cellular
immunity, invertebrates have been employed with increasing fre
quency for studying cellular defense. Consequently, it is not
surprising that included in the memberships of SIP and ASZ are a
large number of individuals with an active interest in this area of
research. As indicated by the chapters included in this volume, the
animal models employed have been primarily molluscs and insects,
although crustaceans and annelids have also been popular."
