The Challenge of Highly Pathogenic Microorganisms Mechanisms of Virulence and Novel Medical Countermeasures
This book addresses the unique features of four microorganisms that constitute the top bioterror threat agents: Bacillus anthracis; Yersinia pestis, Francisella tularensis and Orthopoxviruses. Side-by-side updated information about their pathogenisis, virulence and epidemiology is provided in a sing...
