Overview

This third edition aims to provide new and updated methods on animal influenza viruses as well as more advanced protocols that will guide the reader in designing research. Chapters detail influenza in peridomestic animals, marine mammals, savian influenza, swine influenza, equine influenza, hemagglutination,  genome sequencing, and influenza in other mammals. Written in the highly successful Methods in Molecular Biology series format, chapters include 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, Animal Influenza Virus: Methods and Protocols, Third Edition aims to ensure successful results in the further study of this vital field.

Reviews

The book is targeted to researchers in animal disease, specifically animal influenza viruses. ... This book is a useful resource for individuals involved in animal influenza research, specifically those addressing avian, equine, or swine influenza viruses, but has little application for veterinary practitioners and those investigating non-influenza viruses or other disease agents.
