• Demonstrates multiple diverse pathways and mechanisms to optimize resistance and survival in the face of infectious diseases
• Shows the clear patterns of emergence of different immunologic traits among the diverse orders of mammals
• Reflects issues with innate or adaptive immune systems
• Serves as a comprehensive review of the current state of knowledge of the immune system of each mammalian order
• Demonstrates multiple diverse pathways and mechanisms to optimize resistance and survival in the face of infectious diseases
