Genetics and evolution of infectious disease [electronic resource] / edited by Michel Tibayrenc.
This multidisciplinary book is at the crossroads between two major scientific fields of the 21st century: evolutionary biology and infectious diseases. The genomic revolution has upset modern biology and has revolutionized our approach to ancient disciplines such as evolutionary studies. In particul...
