Despite science?s improved understanding of pathogenic microorganisms and their relationship to infectious diseases, the threat of new, emerging infectious agents and variants of known agents continues to grow. Molecular Infection Biology focuses on the cutting edge of the discipline, presenting the molecular and cellular aspects of infectious diseases by focusing on the exciting interactions between pathogenic microorganisms and their hosts. Beginning with an overview of the most important and dangerous causative agents of infectious diseases, editors Jorg Hacker and Jurgen Heesemann demonstrate how microbial "weapons," pathogenicity factors, protein secretion machines, and surface variation systems work. Infectious diseases are discussed in light of recent advances in evolutionary and cellular microbiology, genomics, diagnostic techniques, and vaccine development. This volume also: ? Outlines molecular principles and methods to study prokaryotic and eukaryotic pathogens...
