About this book
Recent outbreaks of swine influenza and avian influenza, along with the remaining
and in some cases expanding threats from HIV, dengue virus, and the viruses
causing hepatitis, have reinforced the need for rapid, accurate and cost-effective
diagnosis of viral disease. Diagnostic Virology Protocols, Second Edition brings
the field fully up-to-date with a focus on protocols involving nucleic acid
detection, most often through some form of the polymerase chain reaction (PCR).
The expert contributors also delve into the key technology of robotics as well
as future prospects, such as further refined point-of-care testing and the increasing
importance of mathematical modelling. Written in the highly successful Methods
in Molecular Biology™ series format, chapters include brief introductions
to their respective topics, lists of the necessary materials and reagents, step-by-step,
readily reproducible laboratory protocols, and tips on troubleshooting and avoiding
known pitfalls. Authoritative and cutting-edge, Diagnostic Virology Protocols,
Second Edition captures the dramatic changes in the virus diagnostic laboratory
in order to better prepare scientists to combat the inevitable threats to public
health from future and present infectious diseases.
