Avian Immunology. Edition No. 2
Description:
The second edition of Avian Immunology provides an up-to-date overview of the current knowledge of avian
immunology. From the ontogeny of the avian immune system to practical application in vaccinology, the
book encompasses all aspects of innate and adaptive immunity in chickens. In addition, chapters are
devoted to the immunology of other commercially important species such as turkeys and ducks, and to
ecoimmunology summarizing the knowledge of immune responses in free-living birds often in relation to
reproductive success.
The book contains a detailed description of the avian innate immune system, encompassing the mucosal,
enteric, respiratory and reproductive systems. The diseases and disorders it covers include
immunodepressive diseases and immune evasion, autoimmune diseases, and tumors of the immune
system. Practical aspects of vaccination are examined as well. Extensive appendices summarize resources
for scientists including cell lines, inbred chicken lines, cytokines, chemokines, and monoclonal antibodies.
The world-wide importance of poultry protein for the human diet, as well as the threat of avian influenza
pandemics like H5N1 and heavy reliance on vaccination to protect commercial flocks makes this book a vital
resource. This book provides crucial information not only for poultry health professionals and avian
biologists, but also for comparative and veterinary immunologists, graduate students and veterinary
students with an interest in avian immunology.
- With contributions from 33 of the foremost international experts in the field, this book provides the most
up-to-date review of avian immunology so far
- Contains a detailed description of the avian innate immune system reviewing constitutive barriers,
chemical and cellular responses; it includes a comprehensive review of avian Toll-like receptors
- Contains a wide-ranging review of the "ecoimmunology" of free-living avian species, as applied to studies
of population dynamics, and reviews methods and resources available for carrying out such research
