Krause (1998) With contributions from eminent international researchers, this text covers emerging and re-emerging bacterial, viral, and parasitic infections; their life cycles; their strategies for evading host defenses; and their clinical features. The contributors discuss topics such as the history of infectious-disease outbreaks, population and the evolutionary biology of human pathogens, and current epidemiological models that describe how ecological and demographic changes produce new epidemics. Highlights include * persisting problems in tuberculosis; * pathogenic Escherichia coli Escherichia coli (ĕsh'ərĭk`ēə kō`lī), common bacterium that normally inhabits the intestinal tracts of humans and animals, but can cause infection in other parts of the body, especially the urinary tract.
