Epigenetics of Infectious Diseases
The present volume of Epigenetics and Human Health is devoted to the patho-epigenetics of viral and microbial infections, an exiting new field of disease-related epigenetic research. As recognized during the past years, epigenetic reprogramming of pathoge

Preface
This book describes epigenetic mechanisms in a variety of human pathogens. The list includes viruses, bacteria, and protists. Two chapters deal with the modifications of the host epigenome induced by bacterial and protist infections. We trust that the eleven chapters in this volume will arouse the interest of researchers in epigenetics, virology, microbiology, and infection biology in general, both in molecular biology and in molecular medicine. An incentive to arrange this volume has been the consideration that the enormous success of epigenetics in higher eukaryotes
