Hardcover. Zustand: New. About the Book In efforts to limit transboundary movement of pathogens and reduce the economic and socioeconomic impact of disease in aquaculture, there is considerable scope for more effective use of DNA-based methods of pathogen detection. These technologies offer rapid results with potentially high sensitivity and specificity, at relatively low cost. However, few, if any, of the available tests have been assessed appropriately against other diagnostic methods or standardized and validated for specified applications. Implementation of standardized practices that produce reliable, useful and comparable date will require a significant investment in research, training and infrastructure development. The review recommends the development of programmes of managed cooperative research to assist more effective use of DNA-based detection tests, focusing on improving the knowledge base by identification of new and emerging pathogens, relating pathogens in the Asia region to those described elsewhere and defining the extent of genetic variation between related pathogens. The review also recommends the development of a laboratory accreditation programme in order to achieve standardization of sampling methods and test procedures complementary to the activities of the International Office of Epizootics (OIE) in obtaining internationally agreed test standards for molecular diagnostic technologies.…

Softcover. Zustand: Very Good. Vol. 1, Nos. 1-3 (three issues). Published and edited by Richard Branson. Quartos. Each 54pp. Heavily illustrated. Light wear on the wrappers, with some foxing on the front cover of the first issue, very good or better overall. The first three issues of *Student*, a publication started by a 16 year old Richard Branson, which aimed to provide students with a more well-rounded view of their world and of their future. "The fierce debates on education, surely involving the student more than anyone, are almost never thrown open to him. We plan to be a vehicle for intelligent comment and protest" (from Number 1). The publication, despite being started by such a young man, features some of the most prominent artists and thinkers of the era, delivering hard-hitting, controversial content in a mature, well styled manner. Notable articles and features include an interview between a young Richard Branson and American writer James Baldwin, discussing racism in America, "Ain't White People Just Naturally Smarter, Prettier, Better?" by Alice Walker, and a short story titled *Passage for Translation* by John le Carre. For a deeper break down of the contents, see below. The inaugural issue includes a short story titled *Passage for Translation*, by author John le Carre, an article about the state of British art, with excerpts by Gerald Scarfe, Kenneth Armitage, Henry Moore, David Hockney, Michael Ayrton, and Peter Blake; an article promoting teenage use of contraceptives, followed by one encouraging chastity outside of marriage; a centerfold black and white re-creation of *PROVOS* by Ralph Steadman; an article titled "White Slavery Today", by Colonel Patrick Montgomery of the Anti-Slavery Society, about the state of human trafficking; and more. Number 2 includes an article about suicide and mental health by Alan Munton; an article by journalist James Cameron, with sections covering Vietnam, America, China, Britain, India, and a short advice column written to protest-happy students; articles titled "Pro-America" and "Anti-America", the latter written by Bertrand Russell; Other topics include marriage, contraception, abortion, poetry, fashion, and more. Number 3 includes the "never printed in full before", now infamous "Rivers of Blood" speech by Enoch Powell, regarding race and immigration in England, the article accompanied by a Ralph Steadman illustration titled "Transition"; an interview between a young Richard Branson and American writer James Baldwin, discussing racism in America; an article titled "Ain't White People Just Naturally Smarter, Prettier, Better?" by Alice Walker, who later became the first African-American woman to win the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction; an article by Jean-Paul Sartre recounting his time spent with Fidel Castro; "Paris In The Spring", by Stephen Spender, about the civil unrest of 1968; other topics include Vietnam, fashion, education, and more. Issues appear to be extremely uncommon, with *OCLC* locating 11 serial entries (likely all incomplete), with only four U.S. holdings (Harvard, Yale, Emory, Michigan State).…
