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:
- Vaccines
- Hypersensitivity
- Allergic diseases:
- Autoimmune diseases:
- erythematosus|Systemic_lupus_erythematosus Systemic lupus erythematosus
- Pemphigus
- haemolytic anaemia
- granuloma complex
- plasmacytic stomatitis
- Basic feline immunology (Sourced from Wikivet.net)
