Reviews

From the reviews of the second edition: In its 23 chapters it covers most ... viruses of interest to the diagnostic virologist. Each chapter is written by an authority in the field and is composed of a short introduction followed by a number of protocols. These are sufficiently detailed to allow the reader to set up the assays in their own lab. ... Most chapters address a virus type, but vary such that in some the introduction is very informative whilst in others it is merely a lead into the protocols.
