Host-Pathogen Interactions in Humans: Mechanisms, Implications, and Therapeutic Strategies

ISBN: 979-8-89881-811-1
eISBN: 979-8-89881-810-4 (Online)

Introduction

Host-pathogen interactions are central to understanding how infectious diseases develop and how the human immune system responds to invading microorganisms. Knowledge of these interactions provides a foundation for developing effective approaches to infection prevention, diagnosis and treatment.

Host-Pathogen Interactions in Humans: Mechanisms, Implications, and Therapeutic Strategies provides a structured overview of the cellular and molecular mechanisms underlying host defense and pathogen survival. The book examines bacterial, viral, fungal and parasitic infections along with chronic infections, co-infections, inflammatory responses and immune pathologies. Chapters also explore the role of the microbiome in shaping host-pathogen relationships and discusses therapeutic approaches including antimicrobial therapies, vaccines, immunotherapy and immune modulation. Emerging infectious diseases and the application of artificial intelligence in host-pathogen research are also addressed, providing perspectives on current developments and future research directions.
