Vaccines for Veterinarians 1st Edition

Vaccines for Veterinarians 1st Edition

by Ian Tizard January 2020

Vaccines for Veterinarians 1st Edition, Vaccines are among the world’s greatest medical advances. Despite ill-informed and irrational resistance to their use, vaccination has brought most major infectious diseases under control and massively increased human longevity.

Vaccines have had similar beneficial effects on livestock production, eliminating animal plagues, and making intensive livestock production possible. Companion animals and wildlife have also benefited enormously from the proper application of vaccination. The great triumphs of smallpox and rinderpest eradication would not have been possible without vaccines. They are the most cost-effective methods of preventing infectious diseases ever conceived.

Human and animal vaccinologies are also diverging. In humans, serious discussions are under way regarding the production of individualizing vaccines to match a person’s specific immune system. In animals, especially livestock and fish, economics still rule. Mass production and a significant cost/benefit ratio are critical.

Both a theoretical text and a practical handbook, Vaccines for Veterinarians 1st Edition is the first of its kind to bring the basic science of animal vaccination and the practical details of vaccine use together in one single volume. From the first chapter on the history of vaccination and the triumph of rinderpest eradication to the last chapter on the rapidly emerging field of cancer vaccines, this book Vaccines for Veterinarians 1st Edition offers a truly comprehensive grounding in established and emerging vaccines for both major and minor species.

Specific topics include viral vectored vaccines, DNA-plasmid vaccines, RNA vaccines, reverse vaccinology, the complexities of adjuvant use, vaccine failures and adverse events, vaccine production and regulation, robotic vaccination machines, contraceptive and production-enhancing vaccines, and so much more. At a time when resistance to human vaccination is receiving much publicity, this evidence-based book is the ideal counter to ill-informed speculation — serving as a timely reminder that vaccination is essential for the control of infectious diseases in animals.
