Description for Immunology and Evolution of Infectious Disease
Paperback. A comprehensive synthesis of parasite variation at the molecular, population, and evolutionary levels, this book is suitable for students and researchers throughout biology and biomedicine. It uses an evolutionary perspective to meld the terms and findings of molecular biology, immunology, pathogen biology, and population dynamics. Num Pages: 360 pages, 40 line illus. BIC Classification: MJCJ; MJCM; MMFP; PSD. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational; (U) Tertiary Education (US: College). Dimension: 229 x 152 x 21. Weight in Grams: 485.
From HIV to influenza, the battle between infectious agents and the immune system is at the heart of disease. Knowledge of how and why parasites vary to escape recognition by the immune system is central to vaccine design, the control of epidemics, and our fundamental understanding of parasite ecology and evolution. As the first comprehensive synthesis of parasite variation at the molecular, population, and evolutionary levels, this book is essential reading for students and researchers throughout biology and biomedicine. The author uses an evolutionary perspective to meld the terms and findings of molecular biology, immunology, pathogen biology, and population dynamics. ... Read more
