Michael Day's Veterinary Immunology: Principles and Practice is the adopted text in numerous veterinary schools throughout the world. Updated and revised by Brian Catchpole and Harm HogenEsch with advances in knowledge since 2014, this third edition reflects the rapid developments in the field internationally, while preserving the strengths of Day's original writing. It adds numerous case studies demonstrating the clinical context across companion and farm animals.

The textbook presents information on commonly used diagnostic test procedures and includes learning objectives at the start and key points at the end of each chapter, standard symbols in diagrams throughout the text to provide continuity, clinical examples and clinicopathological figures throughout, and a glossary of terms and list of commonly used abbreviations. Short animations are viewable via the Support Materials tab on the Routledge webpage, adding a new element of practical application.

Exploring the immunological principles of both large and small animals, the book emphasizes immunological principles while applying them to disease processes and to clinical practice. It provides a practical textbook for veterinary students and a handy reference for practitioners.

Brian Catchpole is Professor of Companion Animal Immunology at the Royal Veterinary College, University of London. He graduated from the RVC in 1992 and after a period of time in veterinary clinical practice, returned to London to undertake a Wellcome Trust veterinary research training fellowship in the Infection & Immunity group at King’s College London. After gaining his PhD, he returned to the RVC, initially as a postdoctoral research fellow and subsequently as a member of academic staff. Brian’s research is focused on canine immunology, including studies into infectious disease (leptospirosis), immunosenescence, cancer immunotherapy and immune-mediated disease in dogs. Brian has been teaching immunology to veterinary undergraduates for the past 20 years.

Harm HogenEsch is a Distinguished Professor of Immunopathology in the Department of Comparative Pathobiology of the Purdue University College of Veterinary Medicine.
