Taxonomic Guide to Infectious Diseases: Understanding the Biologic Classes of Pathogenic Organisms

Taxonomic Guide to Infectious Diseases

A clinically oriented reference that organizes infectious diseases according to the biological and taxonomic classification of their pathogenic organisms. It explains modern taxonomy, phylogenetic relationships, major biological groups, and the infectious genera and species associated with human disease. The book is designed to help students, clinicians, researchers, and pathology professionals understand infectious organisms through a systematic taxonomic framework.
