About the Book: The Microbial Challenge: Science, Disease & Public Health Whether we realize it or not, microbes play an ever-present role in our daily lives. Food borne infections, epidemics and pandemics are frequently headline news. The Microbial Challenge: Science, Disease and Public Health, Second Edition, presents a fascinating look at humanmicrobe interactions and examines the disease producers while discussing how, with knowledge based preparation, we can live in harmony with microbes. It also discusses the ways in which beneficial microbes are involved in the cycles of nature and in the food industry, and how they are used as research tools. Ideal for undergraduate nonscience majors and allied and public health students, this unique text is a hybrid of microbiology and public health and includes material on prions, helminths (worms), biological warfare and terrorism, antibiotic resistance, the global impact of microbial diseases, and immunization. The text helps students better understand the biology of the microbial world and the societal factors that are both the cause and consequences of microbial disease.
