Reviews
From the reviews:
"This small book focuses on the laboratory methods used to study the avian influenza strains. … this book is very timely. … would be most useful to scientists researching the spread and genetics of avian influenza. … is a useful book for laboratories needing a quick reference on several difficult laboratory techniques. It is comprehensive enough to answer the difficult questions … ." (Rebecca T. Horvat, Doody’s Review Service, May, 2008)
"This book focuses on both the standard virological methods that are fundamental for influenza virus research and diagnostics ... . Each chapter has been supplied with a brief summary, and a rich list of references, tables, graphs and photographs. The book is concluded by a Subject Index. This book may be recommended to all who need extensive information about field and laboratory work with avian influenza viruses, since many important protocols/procedures have not been described in such detail elsewhere." (G. Russ, Folia Microbiologica, Vol. 53, November, 2008)
