Produktbeschreibung

Molecular Principles of Fungal Pathogenesis presents readers with an up-to-date compendium of research in the field of medical mycology. This new volume measures the impact of genome projects, genetics, and molecular biology on the understanding of a diverse group of pathogenic fungi and explores the potential impact of vaccines and new therapeutic approaches to treatment. It will serve as a valuable resource for students, fellows, instructors, researchers, specialists, clinicians, and anyone interested in the general field of microbial pathogenesis. Divided into five sections, the book provides readers with a broad overview of pathogenic fungi, including ascomycetes, basidiomycetes, zygomycetes, and both rare and common infections. A cluster of chapters focuses on immunological aspects of infection involving innate, humoral, and cell-mediated immunity. The remaining chapters of Molecular Principles of Fungal Pathogenesis feature comprehensive coverage of everything from general principles to specific pathogens and vaccine development. An in-depth analysis of the host-pathogen relationship is offered, and future directions are contemplated.
