Here, the leading scientists who have made major advances in the field provide up-to-date reviews and describe their current knowledge and concepts.As such, this is the first volume to summarize the implications of the meningococcus genome-sequencing project, emphasizing the novel strategies in vaccine development. Following a look at the history, the authors go on to treat the epidemiology of meningococcal disease, as well as the genetics, strMeningitisNeisseria meningitidisMeningitis.Neisseria meningitidis.616.8/2616.82Frosch MatthiasMaiden Martin C.
