Whitt from the University of Illinois Department of Ecology, Ethology and Evolution From a Pre-Publicaton Review: "....excellently organized and clearly communicates the different 'strategies' and their ecological/evolutionary rationales. Useful reading for any general biologist and should probably be required reading for medical students to help them understand the dynamic and shifting nature of viral disease. My general impression is that the book fills an important new conceptual niche and that microbiologists or other biologists interested in communicating ecological and evolutionary principles in the context of such a versatile class of organisms would be able to use this book as a text for a heterogeneous class of advanced students. [The authors] will help people focus on broader issue and roles of viruses rather than just as pathogens and tools."

Book Description: The Vaccine Book provides comprehensive information on the current and future world of vaccines. It reveals the scientific opportunities and potential impact of vaccines, including economic and ethical challenges, problems encountered when producing vaccines, how clinical vaccine trials are designed, and how to introduce vaccines into widespread use. Although vaccines are now available for many diseases, there are still challenges ahead for major diseases such as AIDS, tuberculosis, and malaria. The Vaccine Book is designed for students, researchers, public health officials, and all others interested in increasing their understanding of vaccines. Topics unique to this book: * Ethics * Economics * Diseases that could be prevented * Clinical trial designs * Ideas about the future of vaccines * Challenges facing research scientists in the vaccine area * Burden of vaccine-preventable illness and the impact of vaccines * Scientific obstacles to be overcome by existing and new vaccines * Basic mechanisms of host immunity and pathogen interaction with host tissues * New approaches to future vaccines against challenging diseases * Real and perceived safety issues which dominate vaccine development and vaccination policies * Microbial pathogenesis as a basis for vaccine design * Planning vaccine trials * Introducing new vaccines into the healthcare system * Future challenges for vaccines and immunizations CODE http://rapidshare.com/files/37708305/Viral_Ecology.part1.rar http://rapidshare.com/files/37708780/Viral_Ecology.part2.rar http://rapidshare.com/files/37709279/Viral_Ecology.part3.rar http://rapidshare.com/files/37709705/Viral_Ecology.part4.rar http://rapidshare.com/files/37710042/Viral_Ecology.part5.rar Labels: medical ebooks collection |
