This book is a collection of articles written by prominent scientists who gathered in the city of Recife, Brazil, 23-27 October 2010, celebrating the 10th International Symposium on Yersinia. The event is held every four years in a different country and for the Yersinia 2010, an interesting and updated program covering advances in research in Yersiniae was organized. The major advances achieved over the past four years since the last symposium held in Lexington, USA in 2006 were divided into eight chapters: Epidemiology, Clinical, Diagnostic and Therapeutic aspects; Ecology and Modeling; Genomic/Transcriptomics and Large Scale Population; Immune Response and Vaccine; Pathogenesis and Pathogenicity Factors; Cellular Yersiniology; Bacterial Structure and Metabolism: Roles in Pathogenesis and Bacterial Life Style. The purpose of the book is to extend cutting edge knowledge on Yersinia discussed during the 10th International Symposium.

This book presents cutting edge advances on Yersinia discussed on the 10th International Symposium on Yersinia held in Recife, Brazil 23-27 October 2010.

The 42 chapters written by top scientists from around the world features reviews and research articles distributed into 8 topic areas: Evolution; Epidemiology; Detection, Diagnosis and Identification; Immune Response; Pathogenesis and Transmission; Metabolic and Pathogenicity Factors; Regulation; and Approaches to New Therapies.

A must read for researchers in the field.
