Eukaryome Impact on Human Intestine Homeostasis and Mucosal Immunology

The intestine is home to diverse bacterial communities forming the microbiome that influences host nutrition, immune functions and health. DNA-based methods have been instrumental to gain insight into the microbial eukaryotic diversity of the human gut. F

Eukaryome Foreword

I am so pleased to see we have finally come to the point where we start to understand that parasites and us are not alone in infections. We and parasites are not fighting (or parasites are simply utilizing us) one-on-one, but microbial community (including bacteria, archaea, and eukaryotes) plays, as a whole, a significant role in modulating gene expression, metabolism, and virulence of the parasites, and also, on the contrary, physiology, immunity, and tolerance of the host. Such mechanisms have started to unveil. This book is a showcase of such orchestration of human and microbial community including eukaryotic microorganisms, which, eukaryotic microorganisms, had been almost neglected. This book also gives the most updated overview by experts in the fields on genetic diversity and evolution of microbial eukaryotes, immune response to and immune modulation by parasitic eukaryotes, genome organization, gene regulation, pathogenesis, and drug resistance, as well as cutting-edge models and analytical systems to investigate crosstalk
