Reviews

From the reviews: This book provides valuable insight into the molecular genotyping methods for differentiation and classification of microorganisms at the subspecies level ... . It is intended for researchers in the field of molecular epidemiology of microorganisms. Students as well as experts in the field will find this book quite informative and useful. ... This is a valuable resource providing state-of-the-art techniques applied to the investigation of transmissible diseases, enabling researchers to unravel the routes of spread of pathogens for humans, animals, and plants.
