The symposia, featuring state-of-the-art lectures plus supporting papers, explore six main themes: *environment and the skin *immunological reagents in veterinary dermatology *allergic skin diseases *metabolic and endocrine skin diseases *fungi and the skin *immune-mediated skin diseases The peer-reviewed and edited papers collected in this volume are written by internationally recognised authorities on veterinary dermatology from many parts of the world and provide up-to-date information relating to current dermatological problems that are seen in practice. Workshop reports reflect the dynamic discussion of topics of current interest. Poster and Free Communications abstracts from the Congress conclude the volume. ' Advances in Veterinary Dermatology ' provides all veterinarians and veterinary dermatologists with cutting-edge information and research findings in this key area.
