When we were first approached by the senior editors of this series
to edit a book on interactions between the host and infectious
agents, we acceptedthis offer as an exciting challenge. The only
condition, readily agreed upon, was that such a book should focus
on the immunology of infections in humans. Our reasons, if not
biases, were severalfold. We sensed that the fields of microbiology
and im munolgy, which had diverged as each was focusing on its
individual search, were coming together. In agreement with the
opinions expressed by Dr. Richard Krause in the Introduction, we
strongly believed that the development of the immune system evolved
in response to infectious agents and that the evolution of these
agents was influenced in turn by the character of the host's
responses. An inten sive examination of the multitude of primitive
or more recently developed host defense mechanisms to determine
their relative contribution to man's resistance to a given
infectious agent appeared to us to be of crucial basic. and
practical interest. Many immune mechanisms studied in animals were
being explored in humans and it appeared timely to focus
particularly on what was known about man's resistance to infectious
agents, correlating this information with lessons learned from
relevant experiments in animal models."
