MORE ABOUT THIS BOOK

Main description:

In 2003, the word "coronavirus" spread across the globe, somewhat further than the virus that sparked the panic. In this book, expert researchers examine these devastating viruses through 23 state-of-the-art, widely applicable protocols with minute detail. Comprehensive and cutting-edge, the book serves as an ideal guide for all virologists and especially for those working with coronaviruses. Written by international experts, this book is relevant to a wide array of professions.

Contents:

Preface Section 1. Detection and discovery of coronaviruses 1) A pancoronavirus RT-PCR assay for detection of all known coronaviruses, Leen Vijgen*, Elien Moes, Els Keyaerts, Sandra Li, and Marc Van Ranst 2) Detection of Group 1 coronaviruses in bats using universal coronavirus reverse transcription polymerase chain reactions, Leo L.
