The diagnosis of infectious agents in humans and animals and the
detection of pathogens in food and water are not without problems
and are often difficult to validate. Methods in use range from
rather simple, easily managed and routine techniques to the
extremely complex cutting-edge technologies of modern molecular
biology and high-throughput miniaturized methods. There is a clear
need for rapid, accurate and unambiguous results. This volume
considers the principles behind such diverse methods and describes
in some detail how diagnostic and detection methods are employed.
The first part deals with the position in the late-1990s and
considers prions, viruses, protozoa, and helminth parasites both in
host organisms and in food, drinking water and the environment. The
second part focuses on advances being made in diagnosis by
examining emerging pathogens, the risk assessment of water-borne
pathogens and the development of exciting new micromethods.
