Infection & Immunity, 4th Edition

Review from previous edition The text presented is of a very high quality, presented by authors who are passionate about the subject and how it is portrayed to their students in a manner that will inspire!'Dr Andrew Foey, School of Biological Sciences, University of PlymouthI think the book is quite unique in its breadth and integrated topic.‘Dr John Greenman, Biological Sciences, The University of HullAs the field of immunology becomes more and more specialized, here is a textbook that offers a fresh overlook of host-pathogen interactions for the student. The general yet thorough text is directed at students with minimal college biology background and would be appropriate for freshmen and sophomore students.'Professor Gary Splitter, Department of Animal Health and Biomedical Sciences, University of Wisconsin-MadisonFew books are available that are suitable for a course that integrates microbiology and immunology, but this one succeeds in explaining the immune system and its role in host defense very well. Immunology is a rapidly advancing discipline and this third edition is a welcome update.‘Doodys reviews
