The book Graphic handbook of immunology and bovine infectious diseases is an innovative writing which presents essential aspects about basic immunology, the immune response and the major diseases subject to vaccination in cattle, as well as the vaccination and control procedures in an illustrated and didactic method. The accuracy of the contents, together with the detailed illustrations and computer graphics, will help the veterinary surgeon to strengthen his/her expertise on this issue. Furthermore, the authors’ broad experience confers this book an instructive and straightforward hue in dealing with some disciplines that have always been complex.
