New in IVIS! Nutrition and Immunity

Nutrition and Immunity by N.J. Cave. In: Encyclopedia of Feline Clinical Nutrition, in English and in French.
Source:

"There are few, perhaps no, diseases in which the pathogenesis does not in any way involve the immune system. The involvement may be primary as in hypersensitivities, secondary as in infectious diseases, or in more obscure and surprising ways such as in the effect of obesity on immunity. Immune function ranges from simple, innate, barrier defenses, through to complex, highly adaptive, antigen-specific multi-cellular responses."

We thank Royal Canin for generously making these valuable books and journal available to the IVIS Community.
