STM publisher Elsevier has announced the publication of an updated edition of its valuable reference, Genetics and Evolution of Infectious Diseases, edited by Michel Tibayrenc. This book is aimed at controlling and preventing neglected and emerging worldwide diseases that are a major cause of global morbidity, disability and mortality. Using an integrated approach, the book discusses the constantly evolving field of infectious diseases and their continued impact on the health of populations, especially in resource-limited areas of the world. At the same time, Elsevier announced five additional immunology, virology and microbiology books.
Genetics and Evolution of Infectious Diseases, Second Edition looks at the worldwide human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) pandemic, increasing antimicrobial resistance, and the emergence of many new bacterial, fungal, parasitic and viral pathogens. With contributions from leading authorities, the book includes developments in the field of infectious disease since it was last published in 2010. It demonstrates how the economic, social and political burden of infectious diseases is most evident in developing countries which must confront the dual burden of death and disability due to infectious and chronic illnesses.
The six new immunology, virology and microbiology titles are: Genetics and Evolution of Infectious Diseases, Second Edition by Michel Tibayrenc; Autophagy: Cancer, Other Pathologies, Inflammation, Immunity, Infection, and Aging by M.A. Hayat; American Trypanosomiasis Chagas Disease: One Hundred Years of Research, Second Edition by Jenny Telleria and Michel Tibayrenc; The Digestive Involvement in Systemic Autoimmune Diseases, Second Edition by Manuel Ramos-Casals, Munther Khamashta, Pilar Brito-Zeron, Fabiola Atzeni and Joan Rodes; The Heart in Systemic Autoimmune Diseases, Second Edition by Fabiola Atzeni, Andrea Dorea, Mike Nurmohamed and Paolo Pauletto; and The Innate Immune System: A Compositional and Functional Perspective by Tom Monie.
In order to meet content needs in immunology, virology and microbiology, Elsevier uses proprietary tools to identify the gaps in coverage of the topics. Editorial teams strategically fill those gaps with content written by key influencers in the field, giving students, faculty and researchers the content they need to answer challenging questions and improve outcomes. These new books, which will educate the next generation of immunologists and virologists, and provide critical foundational content for information professionals, are key examples of how Elsevier is enabling science to drive innovation.
