Bacterial adhesion to host cells/tissues is essential for maintaining normal, protective host microflora. It is also the crucial first stage in any infectious disease. The molecular mechanisms described in this book are therefore of great interest to microbiologists and those seeking means of preventing and treating bacterial infections.

This book, originally published in 2004, is concerned with the links between human evolution and infectious disease. It has long been recognised that an important factor in human evolution has been the struggle against infectious disease and, more recently, it was revealed that complex genetic polymorphisms are the direct result of that struggle.

Since their discovery as HIV co-receptors in 1996, chemokine receptors have been widely studied within the field of HIV pathogenesis, including neuroAIDS. However, though their role in infection of target cells and in inflammatory/immune responses is relatively well-characterized, their relevance with respect to neuropathogenesis is still unclear.
