Editorial Reviews

Review

“In the evolutionary race between microbes and humans, the microbes have long been declared the winner. This book is an authoritative survey of genome plasticity in a wide range of bacterial, viral, fungal and parasitic pathogens.” James B. Kaper, Department of Microbiology and Immunology and Center for Vaccine Development, University of Maryland School of Medicine
