Book Description:
|
An understanding of the relationship between a pathogen and its host is essential for the development of effective disease control measures. This volume focusses on interactions at the molecular level, specifically between the proteins of the infectious agent and the host that has been invaded. Both viral and bacterial systems are considered, with specific examples illustrating the rapid advances being made in defining the molecular mechanisms underlying infection.
