New insights for anyone involved in the diagnosis, treatment, prevention, and study of infectious disease.
- Provides a unique, single source dedicated to the sequelae and long-term consequences of infection by microbial pathogens.
- Elucidates the many mechanisms that microorganisms use to cause disease.
- Explores a variety of chronic illnesses known or suspected to be caused by bacteria, viruses, fungi, parasites, and prions.
- Serves as a springboard for new research into the causes of chronic illnesses as well as cures and preventive measures.
- Serves as a graduate-level text, providing students with a deep understanding of the mechanisms of host-pathogen interactions.
This title is published by the American Society of Microbiology Press and distributed by Taylor and Francis in rest of world territories.
