Description
This fifth volume in the Emerging Infectious Diseases of the 21st Century series examines malaria from genetic and evolutionary perspectives. Edited by renowned experts Krishna R. Dronamraju and Paolo Arese, the book delves into the complex mechanisms of malaria parasites and their interaction with human hosts.
The work covers essential topics including parasite genetics, host-pathogen evolution, drug resistance mechanisms, and the evolutionary history of malaria. It addresses how Plasmodium species have adapted to various environments and human populations, and explores the genetic basis of virulence and transmission. The book combines contemporary research with practical implications for understanding disease dynamics and developing better control strategies.
Essential reading for researchers, public health professionals, and medical students interested in parasitology, evolutionary biology, and infectious disease management.
