1st Edition
by Sunit Kumar Singh (Editor)
Comprehensively explores
sexually transmitted diseases, from epidemiology, causative pathogens,
clinical impact, and immunology, to management strategies utilizing new
strategies of genomics and next-generation diagnostic tools
Sexually
transmitted infections (STI) are very common worldwide. More than 20
different STIs have been identified, and about 19 million men and women
are infected each year in the United States alone. This book looks at
the complete picture of common STIs— how they form, evolve, and
transmit, as well as how they can be treated and managed with modern
techniques, medicines, and tools.
Diagnostics to Pathogenomics of Sexually Transmitted Infections
runs the spectrum of discussion ranging from introduction of causative
pathogen, their pathogenesis to epidemiology, immunology, to anatomy and
physiology of human genitalia and management strategies. The book
offers in-depth chapter coverage on effect of probiotics on reproductive
health; mucosal immunity in sexually transmitted infections; the role
of circumcision in preventing STIs; Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV);
genital herpes; molluscum contagiosum; genital warts; chlaymydia
trachomatis; donovanosis; gonorrhoea; treponematoses; genital
mycoplasms; bacterial vaginosis; vulvovaginal candidiasis; chlaymydia;
scabies; chancroid, yeast infections; and more.
- Comprehensively compiles most of the major sexually transmitted infections
- Presents updated information on clinical aspects of sexually transmitted infections
- Examines
the priorities in pathogenesis of human sexually transmitted infections
and discusses new strategies of genomics and next-generation diagnostic
tools used for detection of such pathogens
- Explores the future of rapid molecular diagnostic techniques and the challenges posed in the diagnosis of human STIs
- Includes bench to bedside content that will appeal to both basic and clinical researchers
By offering the latest knowledge about recent advances in sexually transmitted infections in an interdisciplinary fashion, Diagnostics to Pathogenomics of Sexually Transmitted Infections
is the perfect book for virologists, microbiologists, infectious
disease experts, vaccinologists, biomedical researchers, clinicians,
pharmacologists, and public health specialists.
