About this book
"A current review of basic research on Rickettsiales biology and pathogenesis in one comprehensive volume.
- Details the scientific knowledge about how these obligate intracellular bacteria invade, survive and replicate inside eukaryotic cells.
- Describes the spectrum of disease caused by an infection and the role of vectors in transmission.
- Discusses protective and pathologic immune responses and establishment of persistent infection.
- Describes the latest developments including genomics and progress in vaccine development.
- Serves as a significant research book for scientists, physicians, medical students, public health professionals, epidemiologists, biocomputational scientists and government policy makers. "
