This is the introductory volume of a new series to be issued under
our general editorship. With the development of an unpre cedented
increase in interest in comparative pathobiology, we are of the
opinion and intent that Comparative PathobioZogy should become the
focal point for the publication of definitive reviews and the
proceedings of significant symposia in this area of modern
biomedical science. Although the term is now in common use, the
question is still sometimes raised as to what "pathobiology"
includes. This broad area of modern biology includes but extends
beyond traditional pathology. It also encompasses studies directed
at understanding the biology, chemistry, and physics of infectious
agents, in cluding how they contact and invade the effected
organism; the reactions of hosts to such agents, as well as to
abiotic invaders; the ecologic parameters which facilitate
infection; and the development of tools essential for the
understanding of hast pathogen interactions. In other words,
pathobiology is inter disciplinary and incorporates all of those
aspects of biology, chemistry, and physics which directly or
indirectly permit greater understanding of the nature of infectious
and noninfectious diseases and the possible implications of such in
biomedicine, agriculture, and environmental science. By
"comparative" is meant an analytical and critical evaluation of
comparable processes as they apply to all categories of animals,
invertebrates as well as poikilothermic and homeothermic verte
brates."
