About the Book

This important volume offers an integrated view of the principal aspects of immune response to all types of infectious agents, with an emphasis on the immune system primarily as a host defense system. The various infectious agents and diseases are integrated under general topics rather than treated in separate chapters. The book illustrated how the dialogue between different types of pathogen and the host immune system, as well as the cross talk between the different members of the immune response, works.

Immunology of Infectious Diseases is valuable reading for microbiologists interested in pathogenesis, immunology and clinicians with an interest in immunology, virology, vaccine development, infectious diseases, bacteriology, parasitology, pathology, and cell biology.
