Sommario/riassunto

Salmonella remains a major cause of economic loss in domestic livestock and of human food poisoning worldwide. The 2nd edition covers the new research from the past 10 years, including major advances in the understanding of the salmonella organism. It is fully updated with new coverage of genome structure, virulence, vaccine development, molecular methods for epidemiology and exotics. It is suitable for researchers in animal and human health.
