Immunity to emerging pathogens 2008-09-19 .txt text/plain 2279 117 39 Our choice of pathogens and authors has therefore resulted in reviews that cover many different types of infectious disease and a breadth of immune responses. The relationship between innate immune responses and viral success in the host population is also discussed by Drs Jessica Weaver and Stuart Isaacs (University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine) (6) with respect to monkeypox virus. Several of the reviews in this volume discuss the important role of T cells in viral, bacterial, and parasite emerging infections. For example, CD8 1 T cells play a major role in protective immunity during Plasmodium liver stage infection, as described by Dr Fidel Zavala and colleagues (Johns Hopkins University) (16) in their review of malaria immunity. While T cells can play a key role in protective immunity, they can also mediate considerable pathogenic effects. Dr Alan Rothman and colleagues (University of Massachusetts Medical School) (18) discuss the impact of T-cell responses on dengue virus infections. ./cache/cord-332838-i8fjwzm6.txt ./txt/cord-332838-i8fjwzm6.txt
