Dr. Philip Griebel

“The book is very well written at a level most veterinarians can understand despite covering complex areas of basic immunology, the biology of stress, vaccination, and a broad range of important diseases.”

Dr. Philip Griebel ‐ Professor and Canada Research Chair in Neonatal Mucosal Immunology, Graduate Program Chair

Dr. Heather Wilson

“This textbook is a must-read for veterinary immunologists, veterinarians, and producers interested in learning how husbandry practices and barn management can impact animal health and productivity. The figures were terrific and very informative and the textbook was written in such a way that it is at once highly informative and easy to follow. I highly recommend this textbook!”

Dr. Heather Wilson ‐ Vaccine & Infectious Disease Organization, University of Saskatchewan, Canada.
