Overview

This volume summarizes key methods and advancements in the field of henipavirus molecular biology. Chapters guide readers through protocols focusing on emerging bat-borne paramyxoviruses as well as pathogenicity caused by Nipah and Hendra viruses. Protocols are also included to help develop diagnostic tools, antiviral therapeutics, and vaccine creation. Written in the format of the highly successful Methods in Molecular Biology series, each chapter includes an introduction to the topic, lists necessary materials and reagents, includes tips on troubleshooting and known pitfalls, and step-by-step, readily reproducible protocols.   Authoritative and cutting-edge, Nipah Virus: Methods and Protocols aims to be a useful and practical guide to new researchers and experts looking to expand their knowledge.
