About this title

Synopsis

Based on the recent Interscience Conference on Antimicrobial Agents and Chemotherapy (ICAAC) and the Infectious Diseases Society of America sessions.

• Focuses on a broad range of infectious agents that pose challenges for the clinical, laboratory, research, public health, and animal health communities.
• Reflects the diversity of infectious agent threats in the 21st century. Some of these agents have been only recently discovered, such as the Acanthamoeba polyphaga mimivirus. Others are known pathogens presenting new challenges, such as human adenovirus 14.

Review

" Interestingly, emerging infectious diseases of plants are described extensively in the final chapter and, although few plant biologists would purchase the book for this alone, it makes for very interesting reading to those less familiar with the subject. This book is highly recommended to anyone interested in keeping up to date with developments in this area of research, but contains enough information to appeal to newcomers."
