商品描述

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

商品描述(中文翻譯)

第二版的《鳥類免疫學》提供了當前鳥類免疫學知識的最新概述。從鳥類免疫系統的發生學到疫苗學的實際應用,本書涵蓋了雞隻的先天性和適應性免疫的各個方面。此外,還有專門章節探討其他商業上重要物種的免疫學,如火雞和鴨子,以及生態免疫學,總結了自由生活鳥類的免疫反應知識,通常與繁殖成功有關。

本書詳細描述了鳥類的先天免疫系統,包括黏膜、腸道、呼吸和生殖系統。所涵蓋的疾病和障礙包括免疫抑制疾病和免疫逃逸、自體免疫疾病以及免疫系統的腫瘤。疫苗接種的實際方面也得到了探討。廣泛的附錄總結了科學家的資源,包括細胞系、近交雞系、細胞激素、趨化因子和單克隆抗體。

家禽蛋白對人類飲食的重要性,以及H5N1等禽流感大流行的威脅和對疫苗接種的高度依賴,使本書成為一個重要的資源。本書不僅為家禽健康專業人士和鳥類生物學家提供關鍵信息,還為比較和獸醫免疫學家、研究鳥類免疫學的研究生和獸醫學生提供重要參考。

- 本書由33位國際領域內的頂尖專家貢獻,提供了迄今為止最最新的鳥類免疫學綜述
- 包含對鳥類先天免疫系統的詳細描述,回顧了構成性屏障、化學和細胞反應;並包括對鳥類Toll樣受體的全面回顧
- 包含對自由生活鳥類物種的“生態免疫學”的廣泛回顧,應用於種群動態研究,並回顧了進行此類研究的方法和資源
