By Ian Tizard, a renowned expert in the field, “Comparative Mammalian Immunology: The Evolution and Diversity of the Immune Systems of Mammals” offers a comprehensive review of the current understanding of mammalian immune systems from a comparative viewpoint.
This authoritative reference delves into the immune systems of marine mammals, bats, marsupials, and other lesser-known species, in addition to humans and laboratory mice, exploring their unique features and responses to disease. The book incorporates recent studies on the genomic sequences of mammals to identify both common and distinctive features of each mammal’s immune system.
The immune system is a complex, yet highly coordinated and controlled series of interactions involving cells and molecules that has evolved to protect the host against disease. Mammals, being a highly diverse group of animals, have been subjected to a variety of selective pressures, resulting in differences in the organization and function of their immune systems.
These differences are particularly evident in gene families characterized by complexity and polymorphism. By examining the immune systems of various mammals, this book provides valuable insights into the evolution and diversity of these systems, shedding light on the intricate mechanisms that have developed to combat disease.
