This collection of reviews, edited by an international team of experts studying and working across a range of disciplines, explores transmission not just as an idea in disease but as a fundamental biological process that acts in all domains of nature and exerts its force on disparate size scales, from the micro to the macro, and across units of time as divergent as a single bacterial replication cycle and the entire course of evolution.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIn five sections, this overview\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eDefines the concept of transmission and covers basic processes of transmission, including causality, control strategies, fitness costs, virulence, and selection\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003ePresents numerous combinations of transmission scenarios across the bacterial, animal, and human interface\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eExamines transmission as the defining characteristic of infectious disease\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003ePresents methods for experimentally verifying and quantifying transmission episodes\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eConcludes with important theoretical and modeling approaches\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003eAnyone studying or working in microbial colonization, evolution, pathogenicity, antimicrobial resistance, or public health will benefit from a deeper understanding of Microbial Transmission.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Fernando Baquero\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1555819737\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781555819736\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e ASM Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/04\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 480\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.20lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.10h x 7.30w x 1.20d","brand":"Fernando Baquero","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48447912476927,"sku":"9781555819736","price":150.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_8f1fce21-9e27-4f56-b72e-2259de114ca3.jpg?v=1777235657","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/microbial-transmission-fernando-baquero-9781555819736","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
