Immunology covers the study of the immune system. In cats, immunology is concerned with such topics as [http://www.felipedia.org/~felipedi/wiki/index.php/Latest_vaccine_protocols vaccines], immune-mediated diseases ([[Lupus erythematosus|Lupus]] and [[Eosinophilic granuloma complex|EGC]]), hypersensitivities ([[atopy]]) and immune deficiencies (such as [[FIV]]).

 

 

 

Immunology covers the study of the immune system. In cats, immunology is concerned with such topics as [Latest vaccine protocols|vaccines], immune-mediated diseases ([Lupus erythematosus|Lupus] and [Eosinophilic granuloma complex|EGC]), hypersensitivities ([atopy]) and immune deficiencies (such as [FIV]).

Generally speaking, there are a broad range of diseases and disease process in which immunology is a primary instigator of disease or the primary target for disease. Such topics include:
