Provides reviews of bacterial, viral and parasitic infections, their life cycles, defense evasion strategies and clinical features. Also included are the history of disease outbreaks, population and biology of human pathogens and current epidemiological models which show how new epidemics are produced. In the BIOMEDICAL UPDATE series.

Emerging Infections is the first volume of the new Biomedical Research Reports Series, which will provide annual updates on hot topics of interest to a broad spectrum of the biomedical research community. This book provides state-of-the-art reviews of new and reemerging bacterial, viral, and parasitic infections, their life cycles, host defense evasion strategies, and clinical features. It includes the history of infectious disease outbreaks, population and evolutionary biology of human pathogens, and current epidemiological models that describe how ecological and demographic changes produce new epidemics.
