Immunology, which was once studied almost exclusively by immunologists, has become an important area of proximate investigation to animal physiologists as a means for understanding changes in disease susceptibility and the neural and neuroendocrine mechanisms that mediate these changes. The coalescence of these different perspectives has given rise to the field of ecological immunology, an interdisciplinary research field that examines interactionImmune systemDisease susceptibilityPsychoneuroimmunologyImmune system.Disease susceptibility.Psychoneuroimmunology.616.07/9Demas Gregory E1820291Nelson Randy J729447MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910953923003321Ecoimmunology4382149UNINA
