| Description: |
Combines two ASM Press books ("Immunology of Infectious Diseases" and "The Innate Immune Response to Infection"), integrating the innate immune response and the adaptive immune response to infection into a synthetic narrative. This title also includes important developments that have occurred in this sub-discipline of microbiology. |
| Synopsis: |
Examines the mechanisms of both the innate and adaptive immune systems as they relate to infection and disease. * Explores the underlying mechanisms of immunity and the many sequelae of host-pathogen interactions, ranging from the sterile eradication of the invader, to controlled chronic infection, to pathologic corollaries of the host-pathogen crosstalk. * Discusses the pathogenesis of certain autoimmune disorders and cancers that are induced by infectious agents but then become independent of the infection process. * Serves as a resource for immunologists, molecular microbiologists, infectious disease clinicians, researchers, and students. This title is published by the American Society of Microbiology Press and distributed by Taylor and Francis in rest of world territories. |
