Veterinary immunology

Main article: Immunology

Veterinary immunology is the study of the immune system in animals and how it functions in health and disease. It is a branch of biomedical science closely related to veterinary medicine and zoology.[1]

The field examines how animals respond to pathogens, how vaccines stimulate immunity, and why immune responses sometimes fail or lead to adverse reactions.[2] It also studies immune disorders and mechanisms of disease resistance in different species.[3]

Veterinary immunology is essential in improving animal health and developing vaccines for livestock and companion animals.[4]
