Viral, Parasitic, Bacterial, and Fungal Infections highlights diverse types of infections including viral, bacterial, parasitic, and fungal, and the therapeutic efficacy of antibiotics, antivirals, antifungals and other medications. This book addresses the molecular, pathophysiological, and cellular pathways involved in the process of infection. It also examines the host defense mechanisms by innate and adaptive immunity. The book starts off with an introduction which includes definitions, classification, etiology, pathophysiology, and diagnosis of infections. It then goes on to cover a wide spectrum of salient features involved in viral, bacterial, parasitic, and fungal infections and their therapeutic strategy. Contributed by experts in the field, Viral, Parasitic, Bacterial, and Fungal Infections comprehensively details the various types of infections, their molecular mechanisms, and therapeutic strategy for those engage in the research and treatment of infectious diseases. Details the pathophysiology of various classes of infections Examines mechanisms of pathogenesis, immunity, as well as therapeutics in bacterial, viral and eukaryote diseases Provides therapeutic strategies and other modalities for treating infections
