I.D. Drynov, N.A. Malyshev. Evolutionary Basics of Human Susceptibility to Diseases. Moscow, Bely Veter, 2018, 206 p.


From the point of view of the evolution of formation and functioning of complex environmental systems, symbiogenesis acts as a sign of human body's integration with the components of the environment. Occurrence of this symbiosis of microbes and a human being imbedded in the evolutionarily formed microbial world manifests itself in the form of natural susceptibility of a human to infectious diseases and related somatic pathologies. The systemic approach is important for understanding of the pathogenesis basics and development of targeted therapy for many human diseases, starting from infectious ones.

The book is intended for a wide circle of readers and can be useful for research scientists, infectious disease doctors, and general practitioners.
