Description
Provides an overview of the current knowledge of these mixed infections in both animals and humans. * Explores the contribution to disease made by interacting and mutually reinforcing pathogens, which may involve bacteria, viruses, or parasites interacting with each other or bacteria interacting with fungi and viruses. * Emphasizes identifying polymicrobial diseases, understanding the complex etiology of these diseases, recognizing difficulties in establishing methods for their study, identifying mechanisms of pathogenesis, and assessing appropriate methods of treatments.
This title is published by the American Society for Microbiology Press and distributed by Taylor and Francis in rest of world territories.
