Tuberculosis (TB), a deadly airborne disease caused by the
bacterium Mycobacterium tuberculosis, takes the lives of almost 2
million people each year and is considered to be the most common
infectious disease in the world. However, thanks to the efforts of
researchers such as the volumes' lead editor, Dr. Stefan H. E.
Kaufmann, there have been several recent advances in fighting the
disease. Dr. Stefan Kaufmann, the Founding Director of the Max
Planck Institute for Infection Biology in Berlin and Professor of
Microbiology and Immunology at the Charite at the Humboldt
University, Berlin, has published more than 600 scientific articles
and currently serves as President of the European Federation of
Immunological Societies and Chair of the Immunology Division of the
American Society of Microbiology. Dr. Kaufmann is considered the
world's leading expert in the field of tuberculosis. The Handbook
of Tuberculosis, which explores the causes and available treatments
of the widespread infection as well as current research into
vaccination, is divided into three separate volumes covering
different areas of study. Each volume provides an essential
resource to molecular and cell biologists, bacteriologists,
immunologists, pathologists and pathophysiologists, clinicians and
those working in the pharmaceutical industry and interested in
world health. Volume 1: Molecular Biology and Biochemistry
highlights the molecular mechanisms of tuberculosis. Volume 2:
Immunology and Cell Biology presents the pre-eminent resource for
all aspects of cell biology and immunology of tuberculosis,
including vaccine development. Volume 3: Clinics, Diagnostics,
Therapy and Epidemiology introduces a comprehensive overview of
clinical aspects of tuberculosis, including drug resistance,
epidemiological aspects and clinical trials. It is co-edited by Dr.
Paul van Helden, Professor of Medical Biochemistry at Stellenbosch
University, South Africa, Director of Laboratory Research for the
Desmond Tutu Tuberculosis Centre and former President of the South
African Society of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology.
