Genome Plasticity and Infectious Diseases - Tapa dura

Críticas

“In the evolutionary race between microbes and humans, the microbes have long been declared the winner. This book is an authoritative survey of genome plasticity in a wide range of bacterial, viral, fungal and parasitic pathogens.” James B. Kaper, Department of Microbiology and Immunology and Center for Vaccine Development, University of Maryland School of Medicine

Reseña del editor

Comprehensive examination of the current understanding of pathogen adaptation and microevolution.

• Introduces the rapidly evolving field of genome plasticity, presents the latest research findings, and explores the relevance of these findings to infection and infection control.
• Compiles and analyzes current investigations on the genome fluidity of pathogenic microbes.
• Explores bacteria, viruses, fungi, and parasites from the aspect of host genome plasticity and its impact on infection.
