Host Adaptation, Virulence, and Evolution

Host Adaptation, Virulence, and Evolution by Javid Ahmad Parray is a concise, authoritative exploration of how pathogens adapt to hosts, develop virulence, and evolve across ecological and clinical landscapes. Combining rigorous science with clear explanation, this book is essential for microbiologists, immunologists, epidemiologists, and public-health professionals seeking actionable insight into infectious-disease dynamics.

Beginning with real-world examples and current research, the text unpacks mechanisms of host-pathogen interaction, genetic drivers of virulence, and evolutionary pressures that shape outbreaks. Readers gain a practical understanding of molecular adaptation, transmission pathways, and how environmental and human factors influence pathogen behavior. Case studies and comparative analyses illustrate concepts relevant to laboratory research, clinical management, and policy development.

What sets this title apart is its balance of depth and accessibility. Technical yet readable, it supports advanced students and seasoned researchers alike with up-to-date perspectives on antimicrobial resistance, zoonoses, and the evolutionary principles underlying emerging infections. Thoughtful discussion connects laboratory findings to public-health responses, making it relevant for professionals across regions — from academic centers in North America and Europe to research institutions in Asia and Africa.
