"The very well-written major topic discussions are presented by leaders in their respective fields...Overall this book is very complete, contains important, timely data in the area of enteric infections, and will be of interest to investigators working in this area. The major topic discussions are valuable to anyone who has interest in enteric infectious disease or gastrointestinal disease in general." The Quarterly Review of Biology, September 1998
