Pathogens of Opportunity

Dukung

Microsporidia: Pathogens of Opportunity provides a
systematic overview of the biology of microsporidia. Written
by leading experts in the field, the book combines background and
basic information on microsporidia with descriptive methods and
resources for working with the pathogen.
Newly revised and updated for its second edition, Microsporidia
will continue to be the standard text reference for these
pathogenic protists, and is an indispensable research resource for
biologists,
physicians and parasitologists.
This new edition of this publication provides systematic reviews
of the biology of this pathogen by leading experts in the field,
and will be combined with descriptions of the methods and resources
for working with this pathogen.
* Provides a comprehensive summary of literature on
microsporidia and microsporidiosis
