A nice wake up call!
It is about time someone brings to light the dangers of over- vaccination! This book explores the many dangerous side effects of vaccination, the obscurity of diseases such as Coronavirus, the inadequacies in vaccines such as Leptospirosis, and the lack of science behind annual rabies mandates. The text given is thourough, and thought provoking! Many vaccines are mandated based on fear, and not science. It is refreshing to see an author admit the inadequacies of vaccinations and the laws surrounding them. Vaccines can become dangerous, and cannot be considered harmless, as demostrated in this book.
Bad - shouldn't be called a "guide"
This book is not a guide as it doesn't guide you to answer the obvious question "if you don't vaccinate, what DO you do??"It discusses all the bad things vaccines do, but gives no solution for protecting your dog against the deadly Distemoer, Parvo and Rabies.Ridiculous. ... Read more

Immunology Defind - The Latest Tizard Blizzard
Concruent with previous layouts, this latest edition is repleat with photos, charts and graphics that aid in one's understanding of the fundamental principles detailed herein.A welcome refresher for the practiced veterinarian, it remains the standard text for graduate and veterinary school students alike.

All trees, no forest
A comprehensive description of CD/IL this, that and the other, without any grasp of explaining the big picture of the subject. We're doing a chapter a week as part of my internal medicine residency rounds and it's utter torture. I still don't have a good idea of where we're going with this. My residentmates and instructors agree - we're seriously considering jumping ship and buying another book.

A reasonably comprehensive introductory text
Tizzard has produced a fine and reasonably comprehensive text for introducing veterinary students to the science of immunology. Starting with easy to grasp basics he proceeds to ever increasing depth in the numerousareas of immunology.Read more

An excellent, comprehensive work.
This book is the first comprehensive source for comparative immunology in such a wide range of species. As such it will be an invaluable addition to the library of any researchers working outside of the usual primate-mouseparadigm. It will also prove useful to veterinary scientists working invaccinology or other immunology related fields and as a graduate levelreference text. Each chapter provides information on a given animal orgroup of animals and is edited by at least one expert on that particularanimal or group of animals.The chapter sections, covering specificimmunological areas, are likewise edited by at least one expert in thefield.Chapter sections are kept essentially the same in all chapters tomake for easier comparisons between species.Easy comparisons are alsofacilitated by the great amounts of information presented in tabular form.Extensive references direct the reader to important papers and authors inthe various fields thereby allowing the reader to pursue more specific, indepth knowledge. One weakness to be perceived in this excellent bookmay be the need for more diagrammatic representations of the genes encodingantibodies, TCR and MHC thus making for quick, at-a-glance, geneticcomparisons. Readers will hopefully suggest other improvements andexpansions so that future editions will contain still more information, andperhaps more species, as knowledge increases. Due to the vast array ofinternational expertise brought to bear in the preparation of this book itis a top quality production, able to cover even such a broad range ofvertebrate species very well.All in all the importance and utility ofthis book can hardly be overstated.As its use and familiarity grows, theeditors may expect many thanks from colleagues around the world for thistimely work. ...
