This book covers topics related to viral and fungal infections of the central nervous system (CNS), with a multidisciplinary reach, discussing associated immunology, microbiological aspects, pathologies, timely management, and prevention. The book is structured into five broad sections.

When our food items become contaminated with pathogenic microorganisms, these microorganisms secrete microbial toxins which promote infection by attacking the host tissue’s immune system, thereby leading to foodborne intoxication, or poisoning, in consumers. Because these toxic microorganisms are not typically identifiable by taste, smell or sight, it is crucial to the safety of our food systems that they be detected through microbial testing. 

As the title suggests, Microbial Toxins: Causes, Mechanisms, Complications and Metabolism is a comprehensive overview of...

This book explores harnessing mycorrhiza in hilly agriculture and presents innovative strategies for sustainable cultivation. Exploring the symbiotic relationship between plants and mycorrhizal fungi reveals how this partnership can optimize soil health, enhance nutrient uptake, and increase crop resilience in challenging terrains. From understanding the ecological role of mycorrhiza to practical applications in hilly regions, the book highlights the use of mycorrhiza in hill agriculture, including details on mycorrhizal diversity, its impact on hill crops, and how to maintain and promote...
