The opening chapter of the 2008 edition of the respected annual series recalls the career of Professor Stanley Falkow, currently with the Department of Microbiology and Immunology at the Stanford University School of Medicine. The remaining 23 invited papers explore the human, mosquito, and viral factors that contribute to the global spread and persistence of dengue; the possible roles of interlinked bistable networks, epigenetic inheritance, and bet-hedging in bacteria; and the identification and localization of base J in the genome of kinetoplastids, the enzymes involved in J biosynthesis, and possible biological functions.
