Bacteriophage Applications - Historical Perspective and Future Potential / by Jessica Nicastro, Shirley Wong, Zahra Khazaei, Peggy Lam, Jonathan Blay, Roderick A. Slavcev.

• Overview of Bacteriophage Lifecycles and Applications / Jessica Nicastro -- Phage for Biocontrol / Jessica Nicastro, Zahra Khazaei, Jonathan Blay -- Phage Device Coatings / Jessica Nicastro, Peggy Lam, Jonathan Blay -- Bacteriophages Functionalized for Gene Delivery and the Targeting of Gene Networks / Jessica Nicastro, Shirley Wong, Roderick A. Slavcev -- Phage Probiotics / Shirley Wong -- Phage for Biodetection / Jessica Nicastro, Roderick A. Slavcev -- Phage-Mediated Immunomodulation / Jessica Nicastro, Shirley Wong, Roderick A. Slavcev. 

• This book explores key applications of phage biotechnology and reviews recent advances in phage display technologies. The applications covered were selected on the basis of their significance and representativeness in the field. The small size and enormous diversity of bacteriophages make them ideal candidates for numerous applications across many industries. Since the discovery of phages and the advent of phage display systems, considerable attention has been focused on the development of novel therapeutic and industrial applications. Recent studies combine the genomic flexibility of phages with phage display systems in order to generate modified phages for targeted delivery.
