Pathogenic Treponema, edited by Radolf and Lukehart, is a comprehensive update of the current state of knowledge of the Treponemes and other spirochaetes ... Thirty five scientists who specialise in molecular biology, epidemiology, entomology and microbiology have pooled their findings of their more recent research efforts to produce an up-to-date account of Treponemal biology ... This hardback text is sturdily bound (less and less common these days) and beautifully printed on very high quality paper. It will make a welcome and useful addition to the libraries of any microbiological research laboratory and pathology establishment.
