Books in Microbiology and virology

Elsevier's Microbiology & Virology collection provides comprehensive coverage of viruses and microorganisms, addressing their impact on human, animal, and plant health. It includes topics such as prevention, treatment, and research of viral diseases like coronaviruses, flaviviruses, and viral hemorrhagic fevers. The collection delves into fields like Bacteriology, Mycology, and Microbial genetics, focusing on their roles in environmental, agricultural, and health-related contexts. This resource serves as a vital tool for scientists, facilitating the study of viruses and microorganisms and enabling the development of effective strategies for infectious disease prevention, diagnosis, and control.

Microbial Imaging

  • 1st Edition
  • Volume 34
  • March 22, 2005
  • Tor Savidge + 1 more
  • English
Recent advances in molecular technology have provided new microbial imaging tools, not only complementing more classical methods, but in many cases significantly enhancing the sensitivity and efficiency in which studies may be conducted. These technologies are applicable to a wide range of problems in contemporary microbiology, including strain selection, understanding microbial structure, function and pathophysiology, as well as in the development of anti-microbial agents and vaccines. This volume emphasizes detailed methodology, provides a theoretical background and lists potential applications of specific imaging tools.

The Epidemiology of Theileriosis in Africa

  • 1st Edition
  • Bozzano G Luisa
  • English
Theileriosis is the name given to infections caused by several species of Theileria, the most important of which in Africa are Theileria annulata and Theileria parva. Their distributions in the continent are distinct, and follow that of their main field tick vectors. The annulata occurs in North Africa and the Nile River Valley, and the parva in sub-Saharan eastern, central, and southern Africa.This book reviews the work on theileriosis since 1902 from an historical, biological, ecological, epidemiological, and economic point of view. The results shed new light on poorly understood areas in theileriosis and at the same time assist with the development of more robust control strategies.

Mucosal Immunology

  • 2nd Edition
  • John Bienenstock + 5 more
  • English
This Second Edition of Mucosal Immunology is the only comprehensive reference covering the basic science and clinical manifestations of mucosal immunology. It has been thoroughly revised and expanded with 29 completely new chapters and color illustrations. The text includes information on all of the clinically important mucosal diseases and provides a comprehensive look at the new oral vaccines designed to combat them. The book is divided into 97 chapters for quick reference.

Microbes as Tools for Cell Biology

  • 1st Edition
  • Volume 45
  • Bozzano G Luisa

PCR in Neuroscience

  • 1st Edition
  • Volume 26
  • Gobinda Sarkar + 1 more
  • English
The volumes in this series include contemporary techniques significant to a particular branch of neuroscience. They are an invaluable aid to the student as well as the experienced researcher not only in developing protocols in neuroscience but in disciplines where research is becoming closely related to neuroscience. Each volume of Methods in Neurosciences contains an index, and each chapter includes references. Dr. Conn became Editor-in-Chief of the series beginning with Volume 15, so each subsequent volume could be guest-edited (by an expert in that specific field. This further strengthens the depth of coverage in Methods in Neurosciences for students and researchers alike.

Parasitic and Infectious Diseases

  • 1st Edition
  • Marilyn E. Scott + 1 more
  • English
There are at least two populations involved in any infectious disease process: the population of parasites that cause the disease and the population of hosts that are infected. Parasitic and Infectious Diseases: Epidemiology and Ecology focuses on the interface between these two populations. The various chapters demonstrate how combined field, experimental, and theoretical studies aid in our understanding of the dynamics of infectious disease processes and in formulating control strategies. Moving from the basics of mathematical modeling and epidemiological principles to case studies of human, livestock, and wild animal infections, the editors have assembled a book of tremendous value to researchers in ecology, parasitology, medical and veterinary sciences, infectious disease, epidemiology, and other related fields of study.

Protein Phosphorylation

  • 1st Edition
  • Tony Hunter + 1 more
  • English
Assembled in this volume are articles chosen from Methods in Enzymology Volumes 200 and 201 for their contemporary relevance and their usefulness to those new to the study of protein phosphorylation. Major topics include classification of protein kinases and protein phosphatases, assays of protein kinases and protein phosphorylation, purification and cloning of protein kinases and protein phosphatases, and the use of inhibitors of protein kinases and protein phosphatases.

Variations in Autotrophic Life

  • 1st Edition
  • Bozzano G Luisa
  • English
The book also serves as a handy reference for established microbial physiologists, biochemists, environmental specialists, and professionals in the area of applied microbiology.

Experiments in Applied Microbiology

  • 1st Edition
  • Samuel Singer
  • English
This is a lab manual intended for use in undergraduate courses and some graduate courses. It contains open-ended experiments to teach applied bacteriology approaches and techniques. Included are the fundamental principles of bacteriology, microbial ecology, bacterial physiology, basic fermentation, and biocontrol.There is no other lab manual of this kind in the market. It breaks new ground in hands-on bacteriology, emphasizing the role of bacteria in both microbiological and macrobiological disciplines. This is also one of the few lab books stressing the use of invertebrate animals as bacteriological material.
