Breeding For Disease Resistance in Farm Animals, (3rd Edition)

This chapter summarizes and updates our current understanding of the immune systems of farm animal species. It highlights the relatively recent understanding that innate immune responses are specific to classes of pathogen and drive downstream adaptive immune responses, critical for immunologi...
