Download or read book Immunology of Human Infection written by André J. Nahmias and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 615 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When we were first approached by the senior editors of this series to edit a book on interactions between the host and infectious agents, we acceptedthis offer as an exciting challenge. The only condition, readily agreed upon, was that such a book should focus on the immunology of infections in humans. Our reasons, if not biases, were severalfold. We sensed that the fields of microbiology and im munolgy, which had diverged as each was focusing on its individual search, were coming together. In agreement with the opinions expressed by Dr. Richard Krause in the Introduction, we strongly believed that the development of the immune system evolved in response to infectious agents and that the evolution of these agents was influenced in turn by the character of the host's responses. An inten sive examination of the multitude of primitive or more recently developed host defense mechanisms to determine their relative contribution to man's resistance to a given infectious agent appeared to us to be of crucial basic· and practical interest. Many immune mechanisms studied in animals were being explored in humans and it appeared timely to focus particularly on what was known about man's resistance to infectious agents, correlating this information with lessons learned from relevant experiments in animal models.

Book excerpt: Doc Kennedy, Petty Officer Chervanak, Seamen Davis and Rogers had been searching for signs of life ever since they arrived at Granite Mountain.After a long operation, they had only managed to find two girls and a dog (Abbey, Fran and Snoop) near Stone Idaho.With a little communication's wizardry, Marine Captain Byron and a few of his men, along with the small group they had discovered living near Johnstown, Pennsylvania, (Tony, Mike, Linda, four year old Jamie and her cat, George) had found Doc and his group and joined up with them at Granite Mountain.Despite these two small successes, it had been a long and frustrating effort.Despite everything they had done to try and find other survivors, they had finally resigned themselves to the idea that they were the only people to have survived the Z Virus.One day, using the satellite camera that fortunately so far had continued to function, they made a discovery at Cheyenne Mountain that gave them hope that they were not alone.Cheyenne Mountain, Colorado, had been an active Air Force base that served as the back-up NORAD Command Center before the Z Virus devastated the country.What had their interest was that Cheyenne Mountain also was rumored to have been built as a "Doomsday" survival facility in the sixties.While the satellite's camera was still operable and before the weather in the mountains changed, they decided that they might have been given one final opportunity to try and find other survivors.When the cold winter weather would settle into the mountains, those that the Z Virus had failed to kill would die of exposure and starvation.Excitement grew at the possibilities of finding life when a satellite image showed that Air Force One was parked outside the facility at Cheyenne Mountain.Could the government have relocated and was still operating the country from Cheyenne Mountain?Who else could be at the facility?How many other survivors could be there?They began to make plans for one last venture to discover a new life and hopefully a future.But the journey would be long and difficult and they would only have one chance at reaching the facility at Cheyenne Mountain.What would they find when they arrived?When they arrived what they found was the key to mankind's survival, but it wasn't what they were expecting.The price they would have to pay to make this discovery would also be much greater than they wanted to pay.
