Pathogen evolution

"Pathogen evolution" as a book category encompasses works that examine how disease-causing organisms—viruses, bacteria, fungi and parasites—change over time and the consequences of those changes for hosts, populations and public health. Titles in this genre range from technical textbooks and research monographs on molecular evolution, population genetics, and evolutionary modeling to accessible popular-science accounts and historical case studies of outbreaks, zoonotic spillover, antimicrobial resistance, and vaccine-driven selection. Common themes include mechanisms of genetic variation and adaptation, host–pathogen coevolution, the emergence and spread of novel strains, implications for diagnostics, treatment and control, and the social, ecological and policy contexts that shape evolutionary trajectories. These books are aimed at researchers, clinicians and public-health professionals as well as informed general readers interested in the biological, clinical and societal dimensions of how pathogens evolve.
