The Black Death of 1348-50 devastated Europe. With mortality estimates ranging from thirty to sixty percent of the population, it was arguably the most significant event of the fourteenth century. Nonetheless, its force varied across the continent, and so did the ways people responded to it. Surprisingly, there is little Jewish writing extant that directly addresses the impact of the plague, or even of the violence that sometimes accompanied it. This absence is particularly notable for Provence...
Nucleotide Analogues as Antiviral Agents (ACS Symposium, #401)
Largely in response to the AIDS epidemic, the amount of research directed toward the discovery of antiviral agents has greatly expanded. This new volume focuses on the potential of nucleotides to exert potent in vivo antiviral effects. It presents the findings of an international group of scientists who are carrying out research at the forefront of the nucleotide drug design. Twelve chapters describe many new concepts and results, much of which has been previously unpublished. This book assemble...

Biological and Clinical Basis of Infectious Diseases
by Guy P. Youmans and etc.
Die Anwendung von antibakteriell wirksamen Substanzen in der Veterinarmedizin erfolgt zum einen aus Grunden des Verbraucherschutzes, zum anderen zur Erhaltung der Tiergesundheit. Gleichzeitig fuhrt jeder Einsatz von Antibiotika zur Selektion von bereits bestehenden Resistenzen, auch wird das Entstehen neuer Resistenzmechanismen begunstigt. Aus diesen Grunden mussen nachhaltig wirksame Managementmassnahmen ergriffen werden, um den Eintrag von resistenten Bakterien insbesondere durch Lebensmittel...
This book focuses on those virus families that are found primarily or exclusively in insects, covering all major families of insect-selective viruses except for the baculoviruses which were described in a previous volume of "The Viruses" series. The topics include: the large DNA viruses; the small DNA densoviruses; the RNA viruses; and, the arbovirus expression systems and their potential employment in the future. Ninety-eight illustrations supplement the text.

Antibiotic Resistant Bacteria (Deadly Diseases and Epidemics)
by Patrick G. Guilfoile
This continuing series explores different diseases to show the science behind how disease-causing organisms affect the body. Microorganisms have plagued humans since the beginning of time, causing debilitating diseases and even death. But how, exactly, do these microorganisms infect and cause disease? The books in this series examine various microbiological scourges that have affected humans as well as the steps that have been taken to identify, isolate, prevent, and eradicate them. Each title w...
