Mims’ Pathogenesis of Infectious Disease: A Comprehensive Guide

Authored by renowned experts Anthony A. Nash, Robert G. Dalziel, and J. Ross Fitzgerald, Mims’ Pathogenesis of Infectious Disease is a landmark book in the field of infectious disease. This revised edition provides an exhaustive, up-to-date account of the mechanisms of microbial infection and the pathogenesis of infectious disease.

Understanding the Spectrum of Microorganisms

The book presents a clear and accessible description of the factors common to all infectious diseases, integrating molecular biology, pathology, and immunology to explain the mechanisms of spread, immune response, and recovery. It delves into the origin and molecular biology of pandemic influenza, HIV1, and HIV2, as well as recent work on papillomaviruses, herpesviruses, BSE, and variant CJD.

Latest Developments in Infectious Disease Research

This edition includes the latest data on tuberculosis, microbial evasion of immune defenses, and the spread of antibiotic resistance genes among bacteria. It also provides an update on vaccines, prions, immune evasion, and microbial ligands and receptors, giving readers a comprehensive understanding of the global burden of infectious diseases.

With 364 pages of in-depth information, Mims’ Pathogenesis of Infectious Disease is an indispensable resource for researchers, students, and healthcare professionals seeking to understand the complexities of infectious disease. Published by Academic Press in 2015, this sixth edition is a testament to the authors’ commitment to advancing our knowledge of this critical field.
