Handbook on “Intracellular Niches of Microbes”

edited by Albert Haas together with Ulrich Schaible (Research Centre Borstel) and to be published in June 2009 by WILEY Press

This book will cover, in individual chapters, all relevant bacterial, fungal, and parasitic microorganisms that exist intracellularly. Additionally, chapters on symbiosis between plants or insects and microorganisms, gene transfer between host and microbes, on basics of immunology and cell biology of compartmentation will be added. All chapters have been written by internationally renowned experts in their fields! Watch out for this interesting piece of work!
