The second edition of the book has sold over 3850 copies, making this our bestselling veterinary textbook. Day passed away in 2020 and Professor Brian Catchpole and Harm HogenEsch are the ideal authors to update this in his stead, actively teaching and researching in this field at the RVC, the UK's biggest veterinary college, and Purdue, a huge vet school in the US. The two new authors give this greater international coverage. The most accessible book on this topic for veterinary students: chapters are concise and informative, focused on the main message. It stands out among the competitor 'tomes' which are expensive and inaccessible, or are geared towards human (or mouse) immunology. In a nutshell, this book provides the essential immunological information specifically for vet students, but remains light and easy to read. Colour illustrations are effective, clear, simple and straight to the point, with nearly one illustration/schematic for each important section/paragraph. The clinical cases bring the material to life, while a short animation adds new practical application via the Support Materials tab on the Routledge website.
