This book presents cutting edge advances on Yersinia discussed on the 10th International Symposium on Yersinia held in Recife, Brazil 23-27 October 2010.
The 42 chapters written by top scientists from around the world features reviews and research articles distributed into 8 topic areas: Evolution; Epidemiology; Detection, Diagnosis and Identification; Immune Response; Pathogenesis and Transmission; Metabolic and Pathogenicity Factors; Regulation; and Approaches to New Therapies.
A must read for researchers in the field.
