Genetics and Breeding for Disease Resistance of Livestock is a solid resource that combines important information on the underlying genetic causes and governing factors for disease resistance in food animals and applications for breeding purposes. It describes genomics at each species level to help researchers and students understand disease resistance and immunology with the help of genomics, and its application in breeding for disease resistance in an easy way. This is a useful reference for researchers to easily understand and undergo further research in immunology and disease resistance for livestock and is filled with novel applications and research materials for a wide audience, such as students, teachers, academicians, researchers, and industry professionals in diagnostic labs. -- Back cover.
