In the last fifteen years, substantial progress has been made in
identifying why some people are particularly susceptible to
specific infectious diseases. Extensive evidence has accumulated
that host genes are important determinants of the outcome of
infection for many common pathogens. This book summarises advances
that have been made in understanding the complexity of host genetic
susceptibility. The diseases covered include those of great public
health importance such as malaria and HIV, and those of topical
interest such as Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease. Many different
techniques have been used to identify host genes involved in
infectious disease susceptibility. Each chapter describes how these
discoveries were made and the book is therefore useful to anyone
planning genetic studies on a multi-factorial disease, regardless
of whether it has an infectious etiology.
