Pathogen Biology: From Molecular Mechanisms to Disease Control

Pathogen Biology: From Molecular Mechanisms to Disease Control presents an integrated and up-to-date perspective on the biology of infectious pathogens, bridging molecular microbiology, immunology, systems biology, and emerging biomedical technologies. The book examines pathogen diversity, mechanisms of virulence, biofilm formation, host-pathogen interactions, innate and adaptive immunity, immune evasion, and the molecular basis of infectious diseases. It further explores cutting-edge advances in molecular diagnostics, genomics, biosensors, artificial intelligence, and precision medicine that are transforming pathogen detection, surveillance, and disease management. By integrating fundamental concepts with recent scientific developments, the book provides a systems-level understanding of pathogen biology and its translational applications in research, clinical practice, and public health. It is an essential resource for students, researchers, microbiologists, immunologists, clinicians, and healthcare professionals seeking current insights into infectious disease biology and innovative strategies for disease prevention and control.
