The rapid developments in molecular biology have been applied to a wide range to biological and medical disciplines. Their application to the mechanisms, development, control and treatment of sexually transmitted diseases is addressed in this volume, the first in the "Molecular and Cell Biology of Human Diseases" series. The book reviews the status of research on a range of sexually transmitted diseases whose incidence has paralleled the increase in HIV infection and examines the ways in which new methods are influencing current practice and are likely to shape future management. As diagnosis, control and treatment of sexually transmitted diseases is increasing worldwide, this book is timely in providing an assessment of current research and its practical and clinical implications. Written by an international team of experts, it is a reference source both for biomedical researchers and clinicians. This book should be of interest to researchers and graduate students in medical microbiology, clinical biochemistry, molecular medicine, venereal diseases, infectious diseases and dermatology and clinicians in similar areas.
