Kazda synthesizes findings from a number of disciplines to help reduce such diseases as tuberculosis and leprosy by investigating their transmission or pathogenesis but the environments in which their underlying pathogens live. He focuses on those species and environments that most impact nonindustrialized countries, but also includes information such as how environmental mycobacteria play an important role in the ecology of moorland dragonflies. One of his findings is that the progressive acidification of the environment due to acid rain is providing an extended range of bryophytes, plants that provide an immense reservoir for the pathogens. He does not provide an index.Kazda, Jindrich is the author of 'Ecology of Mycobacteria' with ISBN 9780412841507 and ISBN 0412841509.
