"Chapters feature bold-face major topic headings and end with a comprehensive list of references. Data is summarized in tables and diagrams, but illustrations are minimal in the first half of the book. Both tables and images are of exceptional quality. The book concludes with a thorough and intuitively structured index...[it is] of unquestionable utility to public health officials and others focusing on animal influenza." (Doody Enterprises 17/03/2017)


"This edition has superb coverage of influenza topics, presents important concepts in a straightforward manner, and provides sound strategies and considerations for influenza control, diagnostics, and surveillance in multiple animal species. I highly recommend this book for your personal, laboratory, or school library." (JAVMA 15/06/2017)

Although the scope of this edition has been broadened to include influenza viruses of mammals such as pigs, horses, dogs, and bats, this book remains a classic reference focused primarily on avian influenza".... "Each chapter represents the collective wisdom of many influenza experts. Readers will find many useful tables and figures for ready reference and teaching materials"....."The authors have successfully improved the quality of an already good product. This edition has superb coverage of influenza topics, presents important concepts in a straightforward manner, and provides sound strategies and considerations for influenza control, diagnostics, and surveillance in multiple animal species. I highly recommend this book for your personal, laboratory, or school library" (Reviewed by Marie Culhane, DVM, PhD, University of Minnesota 15th June 2017 AVMA)
