Evolution of virulence in eukaryotic microbes

Evolution of Virulence in Eukaryotic Microbes offers a unique and up-to-date review of eukaryotic virulence in fungi, oomycetes, and protozoa parasites andhow they affect both animals and plants. The only book to combine a discussion of human and plant pathogens, it takes a fresh look at the selective processes that have shaped the evolution of these organisms. Written by the world's top leaders in this area, the book explores advances in genetic tools, how pathogens exchange genetic material in nature, and the common themes of evolutionary adaptation that lead to disease in different hosts.
