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 (TM) 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.
