    An understanding of veterinary genetics is crucial to the evaluation and control of diseases and disorders in animals. Fully revised and updated, this second edition not only contains sections on basic genetics, cytogenetics, immunogentics, population genetics and quantitative genetics, but also covers, in greater depth than the previous edition, molecular biology, biotechnology, gene mapping and the use of molecular tools to research inherited disorders.

Accessible and clearly presented, this new edition includes:

• Basic, step-by-step explanations.
  
• Detailed descriptions of how veterinary genetics can be applied to artificial selection in animal production.
  
• New information on the control of inherited disorders and the conservation of genetic diversity in both domesticated and wild animal species.

Introduction to Veterinary Genetics is still the only introductory genetics textbook for students of veterinary and animal science and will continue to be an indispensable reference tool for veterinary students and practitioners alike....

    Stressing the principles of genetics as they apply to animal defects, diseases, and animal improvement, this work provides a comprehensive introduction to all aspects of genetics relevant to veterinarians. Throughout, the basic principles are illustrated with practical examples, and explanations in the main text are verbal rather than algebraic whenever possible....

    The book presents the most current knowledge, ideas and speculations about the origin of the adaptive immune system and its evolution. The accumulation of genetic, molecular and biological data across various classes of vertebrates and phyla within the animal kingdom has helped elucidate major elements of genetic conservation and specific variations on that theme. Several scenarios linking together genome evolution and the origin of receptors and the differentiation of lymphocyte lineage are now envisioned at a much more general and integrated level than ever before. The volume is a collection of chapters centered around the phylogeny of the immune system written by scientists who are at the forefront of research in the field. It presents a fresh mix of subjects and new approaches presented for the first time in form of reviews. Clearly not comprehensive, the book delineates the current and controversial issues in this area....

    Interest in genetic conservation and the survival of rare breeds has increased steadily in recent years. Following a successful conference held at Warwick, UK, in 1989 (published as Genetic Conservation of Domestic Livestock), a further conference was held in Budapest, Hungary in August 1991. This book presents selected edited papers from the Budapest conference, reporting new developments and initiatives in this expanding field of research. Contributors came from all over the world, and the book will interest geneticists, animal breeders and others concerned with rare breeds....
