Medical Virology: A Practical Approach (Practical Approach Series): 147 - Softcover

The book is concise and well written. It brings together considerable experience in the field. I can recommend it as a useful volume for practising virologists, particularly for those involved in research and development. Some chapters may also be useful for scientists in other disciplines. (Hugh O'Neill, SGM Quarterly, February 1997)

Like other biomedical sciences, medical virology has undergone a revolution of diagnostic and scientific approaches through the advent of molecular biological techniques. This is reflected in the topics collected in this volume which present classical and molecular techniques currently used in medical virology for the diagnosis of virus infections and for further analysis of virus-specific antibodies and of clinical virus isolates.
