Genetics and Evolution of Infectious Diseases, 3rd Edition, edited by Michel Tibayrenc, presents structured research on the biological mechanisms governing disease transmission and host susceptibility. Published by Elsevier in July 2024, this edition connects fundamental evolutionary principles with medical applications across biological sciences.

The volume details host-pathogen coevolution, evolutionary responses to infectious disease, and human population diversity. It further examines how selection pressures drive antimicrobial resistance in pathogens and insecticide resistance across vector populations.

Spanning 1,000 pages, the text incorporates revised chapters alongside six entirely new contributions. The material is structured for advanced undergraduate, graduate, and postgraduate students in medicine, veterinary medicine, and biology who require rigorous grounding in pathogen genetics.
