From the reviews: If you are by any means interested in the microbial ecology of mycobacteria ... this book is your choice. ... The pictures are of high technical standard and imminently supply the body of the text by references. ... addresses a wide range of scientists and others who are engaged in epidemiology, epizootology, immunology, environmental ecology, and animal husbandry. It presents the state of the art of the ecology of mycobacteria, a virtual gold mine of the subject. Do not miss it. (Niels Skovgaard, International Journal of Food Microbiology, Vol. 136, 2010) The primary focus is the ecology of mycobacteria species in human and animal diseases, including mycobacteria interactions and roles in the environment. ... The editors have included examples, graphics, bibliographies, and references to the illustrations ... to explain the concepts and ideas discussed. The information included in this work is recent and relevant and will be useful to readers wishing to gain an understanding of general mycobacterial ecology. Summing Up: Recommended.
