Su questo libro

Recensione

' ... an interesting and rather provocative book. The issues explored in the book are wide-ranging and interdisciplinary, and will appeal to anyone interested in seasonality and health.' The Lancet

'... valuable to anyone interested in immune function in wild animals, and also should be of interest to epidemiologists and immunologists attempting to understand patterns of disease prevalence.' L. Michael Romero, Tufts University

Descrizione del libro

This first book to examine seasonal immune function from an interdisciplinary perspective presents evidence that infection is cyclical with the seasons, and that this phenomenon is mirrored in cycles of immune function. Stress, infectious diseases, autoimmune diseases, and human cancers are examined, and the role of hormones is considered.
