This eBook is a collection of articles from a Frontiers Research Topic. Frontiers Research Topics are very popular trademarks of the Frontiers Journals Series: they are collections of at least ten articles, all centered on a particular subject. With their unique mix of varied contributions from Original Research to Review Articles, Frontiers Research Topics unify the most influential researchers, the latest key findings and historical advances in a hot research area! Find out more on how to host your own Frontiers Research Topic or contribute to one as an author by contacting the Frontiers Editorial Office: frontiersin.org/about/contact.
As we approach the end of this millennium, enteric diseases remain impor tant public health problems. In many parts of the world, sanitary measures have advanced little over the last century, although some of the governments in those areas are striving to improve facilities for sanitation and to educate their people in proper handling of food, water, sewage, and other modes of transmission of pathogenic microbes. Even in highly developed countries, outbreaks of diarrheal diseases occur today. Globally, the annual morbidity from enteric infections is estimated at several billion and deaths at several million per year. In this volume, descriptions of some of these diseases, of immunity that re...
Brucellosis is a nationally and internationally regulated disease of livestock with significant consequences for animal health, public health, and international trade. In cattle, the primary cause of brucellosis is Brucella abortus, a zoonotic bacterial pathogen that also affects wildlife, including bison and elk. As a result of the Brucellosis Eradication Program that began in 1934, most of the country is now free of bovine brucellosis. The Greater Yellowstone Area (GYA), where brucellosis is endemic in bison and elk, is the last known B. abortus reservoir in the United States. The GYA is home to more than 5,500 bison that are the genetic descendants of the original free-ranging bison herds...
Researchers have recently made tremendous progress in the area of mucosal immunology, greatly increasing our understanding of the common mucosal immune system, mucosal infections, and oral immunization. However, thisresearch has not previously been made available in a single work. In its large 81/2"x 11"format, Handbook of Mucosal Immunology covers the entire spectrum of mucosal immunity and is organized in two main sections to present the basic biology of the common mucosal immune system and the immune responses of the mucosae.The first section provides an introduction and historical perspective of the mucosal immune system and includes comprehensive discussion of the development and physio...
Volumes for 1898-1941, 1948-56 include the Society's proceedings (primarily abstracts of papers presented at the 10th-53rd annual meetings, and the 1948-56 fall meetings).
Host defense against infectious microorganisms is becoming an intensively studied topic; recent advances in immunology and microbiology have resulted in a substantially improved understanding of the pathways used by a variety of microorganisms to infect humans. This resource provides up-to-date reviews of the invasion strategies utilized by selected bacteria and then shows how these microorganisms can be manipulated to generate potential vaccines. The book begins with a comprehensive review of the relationship between bacterial life-styles and immune responsiveness to bacterial antigens. The book is divided into two parts: Part 1 describes basic research intended primarily for academic scientists. Included in this section are chapters describing the use of Listeria monocytogenes, Salmonella typhimurium and Bacillus Calmette-Guerin (BCG) to invoke different types of immune response. Part 2 describes the application of the engineered Listeria monocytogenes as a vaccine against specific tumors and the use of recombinant Salmonella and BCG in clinical trials for HIV and TB
Mucosal immunology is a science which covers all the fields concerning almost all parts of the human body, i.e., not only gastroenterology but also otolaryngology, respiratory field, obstetrics and gynecology, neonatal pediatrics, dentistry, urology, ophthalmology, and so on. In this congress, the gastroenterological and dental fields were mainly discussed. The advancement of immunology is extremely rapid and therefore requires incessant exchange of information. With the progress of immunology, our scientific interest has moved to ever more specialized levels, especially the cellular level. This two-volume publication will certainly contribute to the progress of the therapy of human diseases.
