Our immune system is a complex network of cells continually
battling against a barrage of attacks from our environment, quite
literally to save our lives. But what protects us from the
potentially life-threatening microorganisms that surround us every
day? In the lucid, accessible style for which John Playfair is
renowned, and together with Greg Bancroft, an expert in infectious
diseases, Infection and Immunity explains how our immune system
defends us. The authors describe the main causes of infection that
our bodies have to battle against - from bacteria to viruses, fungi
to protozoa - and explains the intricate and fascinating ways in
which we respond, from detection of potentially dangerous organisms
to their ultimate elimination - sometimes, unfortunately, suffering
new pathological symptoms in the process. Presenting a
fully-rounded, well-balanced overview of the field, the book also
explains how diseases spread, and what measures we can take to
control this spread - from vaccination to increasing awareness
through public health initiatives. With examples of infectious
diseases from across the world, Infection and Immunity is the ideal
text for biomedical science, bioscience, and microbiology students
who need to understand the basics of what causes infection, and how
our immune systems respond. Online Resource Centre The Online
