This concise text explores the interactions between pathogens and
the immune system. Taking a disease-based approach, it explains how
micro-organisms adapted to growth in human hosts can evade the
immune system and cause disease. The opening chapter overviews the
innate and adaptive immune responses to microbes. Subsequent
chapters are specific to particular pathogens, beginning with their
biology and leading on to illustrate mechanisms of adaptation and
ensuing consequences. Each of these chapters ends with a summary,
review questions and further reading lists. The text includes:
Concise yet comprehensive discussion of pathogens from the viruses,
bacteria, fungi, protozoan parasites and helminth worms. Summaries,
review questions and further reading make this book suitable for
self-directed study. Infection and Immunity is ideal for any
undergraduates taking a course that explores the interaction
between pathogens and the human immune system.
