- Summary:
- Written by the foremost leaders in immunologic research, this volume is a definitive text on the ways in which bacteria, viruses, parasites, and fungi affect the immune response in the host. The book synthesizes recent discoveries on the various mechanisms by which microbes subvert the immune response and on the role of these immunologic mechanisms in the pathogenesis of infectious diseases.
- Each chapter examines a particular group of infectious pathogens and focuses on the immunobiology of the disease. A separate section explores potential vaccines for mucosal or conventional delivery.
