Book Description:Handbook of Animal Models of Infection is a complete
revision of a three-volume text that was published in 1986.
It incorporates the major advances in the field during the
past decade, in particular those concerning molecular
biological procedures and new models that have been
developed. It focuses on both methods and techniques, which makes it an essential and comprehensive reference as well as a benchtop manual. The Handbook will help investigators save time and effort in formulating an approach to test a new potential therapeutic agent or combination of agents for in vivo efficacy and to position the therapy for specific infections where it may have therapeutic promise.
The book is divided into five sections; the first covering
the general methodologies, followed by sections describing
experimental bacterial, mycotic, parasitic, and viral
infections.
