Описание: Parasitic infections present a major challenge to the health and well being of several billions of people across the world. Political unrest, natural disasters, the migrations of huge populations and the spread of HIV infections have added to already serious problems by increasing global parasi e burdens. Increasingly it is becoming clear that interactions between parasites and other infectious agents can aggravate disease.

Against this backdrop, progress is being made in the containment of many parasitic infections and there is optimism that some of the diseases that have plagued humans for centuries may be eradicated. Hopes for the future revolve around the application of modern molecular, genetic and immunological science, linked to the systematic use of evidence-based control methods. All these themes and more run through the chapters in this volume.

Parasitology has been thoroughly revised and updated for the tenth edition of Topley & Wilson's Microbiology and Microbial Infections to include all newly identified parasites and emerging diseases. Through discussion of the general aspects of parasitology and detailed reviews of specific organisms (grouped under protozoa and helminths) the volume provides an authoritative survey of current knowledge of parasitic organisms and the human diseases to which they give rise, what their effects are and ways in which they can be controlled, not only now, but also in the future. The comprehensive coverage includes the basic science that underlies disease transmission and progression, the classification and identification of the organisms concerned, and the epidemiology and treatment of the diseases caused.

Parasitology is an invaluable companion for infectious disease specialists, pathologists, parasitologists and all others working in the increasingly important field.

Описание: Now presented in two volumes, "Virology" has been thoroughly revised and updated for the tenth edition to include all newly identified viruses and emerging viral infections in addition to providing an authoritative reference to established pathogens. The two volumes present comprehensive coverage of viruses and viral infections, including both their general and specific characteristics, and also cover the basic sciences, the classification, identification, epidemiology, pathogenesis, immunology and control of virus infections.The authors have provided consistently detailed reviews of pathogenic viruses, the infections arising from them and the principles of diagnosis and control, and provide clear exposition of the implications of molecular techniques for the categorization and classification of viruses. The breadth of coverage makes "Virology" essential for all who need a detailed and authoritative yet easily accessible reference text on viruses and the diseases they cause: infectious disease specialists, pathologists, virologists, public health scientists, and all those involved in viral research.

Описание: In recent years there has been a revolution in our understanding of infections and the infective process as well as in our ability to detect, identify, characterise and understand commensal and pathogenic bacteria. The bacteriology volumes in Topley & Wilson's Microbiology and Microbial Infections have therefore been thoroughly restructured and updated for this tenth edition to include all new, emerging or re-emerging pathogens as well as providing the ultimate reference to established organisms. The two volumes provide comprehensive, authoritative coverage of all aspects of bacteriology, and are divided into parts covering the general basic characteristics of bacteria and bacterial infections; their ecosystems; epidemiology, transmission and therapy; organ and system infections and laboratory aspects. BR>
These are followed by detailed reviews of the individual organisms and their biology. The chapters distil current knowledge while providing insight into future developments in the field. The editors' and contributors' enthusiasm for this exciting subject, combined with the breadth of coverage and the clinical relevance of the material ensures that Bacteriology will prove invaluable to students and teachers of microbiology, while microbiologists working in general, medical, food, environmental, and pharmaceutical fields will come to find this their definitive reference work.

Описание: Immunology brings together the scientific basis and clinical aspects of the acquisition and progression of the host response to infectious disease, providing comprehensive coverage of this fast-moving field. It is included in this tenth edition of Topley & Wilson's Microbiology and Microbial Infections as a stand-alone volume for the first time. Arranged under the topics of innate immunity and inflammation, soluble mediators, acquired immunity, infection and immunity, immunopathology, and immunodeficiency and vaccines, Immunology allows the reader to identify specific topics related to infectious diseases, and also to find information on the basic mechanisms underlying immunity.

Chapters include information on the clinical issues of immunology as they relate to immunopathology and immunodeficiency, and on the different aspects of vaccination and vaccine development. The international authorship and breadth of coverage ensure that Immunology will be an unrivalled resource for all members of the immunology community and associated microbiological disciplines, including research scientists, clinical laboratory scientists, infectious disease specialists and other clinicians. In addition, Immunology will be an invaluable reference for students and teachers of immunology.

Описание: This book provides the latest information on fish lectins from the perspective of inflammation and presents new ideas on the complicated mechanisms of lectin biochemistry and associated interactions. Key features include discussion of mechanisms recently identified to be involving lectin family types, presentation of the latest evidence regarding the molecular approaches in fish lectins, and thorough explanation of the concept of antimicrobial and immunological roles and current understanding of the significance of its disease resistance related studies. Gene expression studies is another important element of the book, and it is proposed that gene editing technology provides gaining attention in the biological role of fish lectin research. Examples of the many lastest molecular approaches, applications and future perspectives in fish lectin specific topics covered in this book include the information right from the basics to the advancements in this area. The book will be a valuable update and resource for both experienced and younger researchers working in the field of lectins and immunology.
