Genetics and Evolution of Infectious Diseases
Genetics and Evolution of Infectious Diseases is at the crossroads between two major scientific fields of the 21st century: evolutionary biology and infectious diseases. The genomic revolution has upset modern biology and has revolutionized our approach to ancient disciplines such as evolutionary studies. In particular, this revolution is profoundly changing our view on genetically driven human phenotypic diversity, and this is especially true in disease genetic susceptibility. Infectious diseases are indisputably the major challenge of medicine. When looking globally, they are the number one killer of humans and therefore the main selective pressure exerted on our species. Even in industria...
American Trypanosomiasis
Chagas disease causes severe socioeconomic impact and a high medical cost in Latin America. WHO and the World Bank consider Chagas disease as the fourth most transmittable disease to have a major impact on public health in Latin America: 120 million persons are potentially exposed, 16 to 18 million of whom are presently infected, causing 45,000 to 50,000 deaths per year. It has been calculated that approximately 2.4 million potential working years are lost because of incapacity and mortality due to the disease, for an annual cost estimated at 20 billion Euros. American Trypanosomiasis provides a comprehensive overview of Chagas disease and discusses the latest discoveries concerning the three elements that compose the transmission chain of the disease: - The host: human and mammalian reservoirs - The insect vectors: domestic and sylvatic vectors - The causative parasite: Trypanosoma cruzi - Informs and updates on all the latest developments in the field - Contributions from leading authorities and industry experts
Is Christianity True?
Is Christianity True? is an excellent resource for twenty-first-century Christians and non-Christians who want to investigate the truth-claims of Christianity. This book tackles the most important issues in a clear and compelling way. Part 1 looks at the trustworthiness of the Bible and at Jesus Christ, who claimed to be God incarnate. He verified his claim by his fulfillment of prophecy and his resurrection from the dead. Part 2 shows that the great alternative to Christianity—the belief that there is no God or supernatural realm and that the universe and all that exists do so simply by natural forces—not only is false but is impossible. Part 3 deals with perhaps the greatest challenge to Christianity, the “problem of evil,” i.e., if God is all knowing, all powerful, and all good, then why is there so much evil in the world? The book does not shy away from discussing up-to-date scientific knowledge and shows how this knowledge actually confirms the claims of Christianity. This book is a clear, yet challenging, explanation of the biblical, historical, philosophical, and scientific evidence which shows that, indeed, Christianity is true.
Modelling Parasite Transmission and Control
It is clear that many fascinating problems still remain to be addressed in parasite transmission modelling, from better understanding of transmission processes and natural history of infection to investigating the impact of ecological and spatial scales, climate change, host immunity and social behaviour, parasite-host evolutionary dynamics and parasite community ecology on parasite transmission. This book captures some of the advances made in recent years and provides indications of ways forward for addressing these questions by shedding light on developments in conceptual frameworks and modelling tools as well as the emergence of new data forms for aiding model construction, testing and an...

American Trypanosomiasis Chagas Disease
American Trypanosomiasis, Chagas Disease: One Hundred Years of Research, Second Edition, provides a comprehensive overview of Chagas disease and discusses the latest discoveries concerning the three elements that compose the transmission chain of the disease, the host, the insect vectors, and the causative parasite. In addition, new insights on the molecular biology and diagnostics of Chagas diseases, the persistence of infections in the host, and the interaction of the parasite and host metabolism are now included in this new and updated edition. - Provides a thoroughly revised, updated, and streamlined new edition with contributions from leading authorities and industry experts - Informs and updates on all the latest developments of Chagas disease, covering biology, clinical aspects, and human sciences - Includes a summarizing chapter that provides key insights of practical significance for prevention efforts
On Human Nature
On Human Nature: Biology, Psychology, Ethics, Politics, and Religion covers the present state of knowledge on human diversity and its adaptative significance through a broad and eclectic selection of representative chapters. This transdisciplinary work brings together specialists from various fields who rarely interact, including geneticists, evolutionists, physicians, ethologists, psychoanalysts, anthropologists, sociologists, theologians, historians, linguists, and philosophers. Genomic diversity is covered in several chapters dealing with biology, including the differences in men and apes and the genetic diversity of mankind. Top specialists, known for their open mind and broad knowledge ...
Advances in Parasitology
Advances in Parasitology presents the latest developments in the field of parasitology. It covers topics such as Chagas Disease Diagnostic Applications, The Role of Spatial Statistics in the Control and Elimination of Neglected Tropical Diseases in Sub-Saharan Africa, and Host–Parasite Relationships and Life Histories of Trypanosomes in Australia. Specific chapters delve into targeting parasites to suppress malaria transmission and a focus on neglected tropical diseases, such as Trypanosomiasis, Schistosomiasis and Lymphatic Filariasis. This series includes medical studies of parasites of major influence, such as Plasmodium falciparum and trypanosomes, as well as reviews of more traditional areas, such as zoology, taxonomy and life history. - Informs and updates on all the latest developments in the field of parasitology - Includes medical studies of parasites of major influence, such as Plasmodium falciparum and trypanosomes - Contains contributions from leading authorities and industry experts - Features reviews of more traditional areas, such as zoology, taxonomy, and life history, which help to shape current thinking and applications
