SUMMARY OR ABSTRACT
Text of Note
This new volume both combines two previous ASM Press books ("Immunology of Infectious Diseases" and "The Innate Immune Response to Infection"), integrating the innate immune response and the adaptive immune response to infection into a synthetic narrative, and bring everything up to date, incorporating the numerous important developments that have occurred in this most dynamic sub-discipline of microbiology.
