First published in 1986, this volume reviews the immune system of
domestic ruminants, with particular emphasis on mechanisms of
immunity and resistance to infectious diseases. Topics of
comparative interest in other species are also covered. The
cellular components of the immune system are discussed first,
including ontogeny, structural organization and how they interact
during the generation of immune responses. This is followed by
information on specific aspects of humoral and cell-mediated immune
responses, and finally a section on the relevance of various types
of immune responses in protection against a number of important
infectious diseases of ruminants. The papers included were
presented originally at an international conference held in
Nairobi, Kenya in September 1983. They provide authoritative
coverage of a wide range of topics in ruminant immunology.
Together, they comprise a valuable reference text for those
involved in all aspects of immunological research in ruminants.
