Mims' Pathogenesis of Infectious Disease

Autor Anthony A. Nash, Cedric A. Mims, John Stephen
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 18 sep 2000
Mims' Pathogenesis of Infectious Disease is the landmark book in the field of infectious disease. The new, revised edition of this work provides a comprehensive, up-to-date description of the mechanisms of microbial infection and the pathogenesis of infectious disease. Presented in a clear, accessible style, it deals in an integrated manner with the spectrum of microorganisms, describing the factors common to all infectious diseases. Molecular biology, pathology, and immunology are brought together to explain the mechanisms for spread, immune response, and recovery.

  • Microbial gene sequencing
  • Up-to-date picture of the global burden of infectious diseases
  • Role of bacterial virulence factors in vivo, as contrasted with possibilities based on in vitro evidence
  • Latest data on combination vaccines, the promise of edible vaccines
  • The spread of antibiotic resistance genes among bacteria
  • HIV1 and HIV2; molecular biology, pathogenesis and origin
  • Latest data on tuberculosis - the number one infectious disease worldwide
  • Recent work on papillomaviruses, herpesviruses, BSE and variant CJD
  • Latest data on microbial evasion of immune defences
  • Origin and molecular biology of pandemic influenza
  • Significance of toxins
  • An update on vaccines, prions, immune evasion, microbial ligands and receptors

Recenzii

"This book should be in every medical library..." --POSTGRADUATE MEDICAL JOURNAL
"This is an outstanding book of high scholarship of much interest to immunologists, microbiologists, pathologists and all those concerned with infectious diseases." --MOLECULAR MEDICINE TODAY
"A splendidly imaginative book which will become a trusty companion for many of us." --THE LANCET
"A short but comprehensive description of the mechanisms of infectious disease in an eminently readable form suitable for undergraduates in medicine, veterinary medicine and microbiology. An excellent book which should be read by teachers, students and research workers." --NEW SCIENTIST
"In bringing this material together clearly, in one short thoughtful volume, Professor Mims offers the student a chance to acquire a sound appreciation of the infectious process." --BRITISH MEDICAL JOURNAL
"It remains excellent value for money and will I am sure long continue to be a standard text." --JOURNAL OF MEDICAL MICROBIOLOGY
"Clear, well-written text including tables, and impressive schematic drawings." --EXPERIMENTAL PATHOLOGY
