Rezensionen

"This is an excellent update on the new discoveries in the field of immunology that have increased the understanding of the pathogenesis of allergic diseases." (Doody's, 16 January 2015)

"These features make this a useful reference for veterinarians with an interest in veterinary allergy." (Journal of the American Veterinary Medical Association, 15 September 2014)

"I enjoyed this book, learned and was reminded of a lot, and I recommend it as essential reading for all veterinary dermatologists and residents. The book is good value and a good choice for practices with a library. It is available in print and electronically." (Veterinary Record, 29 November 2014)

"A must for anyone wishing to understand and manage accordingly those itchy, diarrhoeic or suffocating animals." (Vets Today, 1 August 2014)

"In this context, one sees the importance of books of this nature. As is the case with other specialized titles in veterinary medicine, I hope that Veterinary Allergy has come to stay and we will have successive revised, expanded and updated editions, helping to keep us informed and to manage our allergic patients properly."(Veterinary Dermatology, 5 July 2014)

"From clinical presentation and treatment to allergic diseases, science and references for specialists and researchers, and chapters written by experts, this provides a powerful and highly recommended veterinary exploration that any clinician or vet student must have in their reference collections." (Midwest Book Review, 1 June 2014)
