Pathogen-Host Interactions: Antigenic Variation v. Somatic Adaptations
This volume provides in-depth reviews of model systems that exemplify the arms race in host-pathogen interactions. Somatic adaptations are responsible for the individualization of biological responses to the environment, and the continual struggle between host immune systems and invading pathogens h...
