About this book
Reviews
From the reviews:
“This book introduces the current thinking on rational attenuation and this important theme runs through the book, tying the chapters together very nicely. … Given the renaissance in vaccinology this is a timely volume which … makes judicious use of selected examples to highlight key aspects of this burgeoning field. This book is both a useful primer for students and a thought-provoking read for researchers in this field.” (Paul Duprex, Microbiology Today, November, 2011)Editors and Affiliations
