These studies will benefit in the detection, diagnosis, management, treatment, and prevention of this infection. The chapters in this book cover techniques in virus isolation, purification, and ways to titrate the virus; recent advancements made in the development of modified molecular techniques; and a discussion on Zika virus itself to help readers better understand this pathogen. Written in the highly successful Methods in Molecular Biology series format, chapters include introductions to their respective topics, lists of the necessary materials and reagents, step-by-step, readily reproducible laboratory protocols, and tips on troubleshooting and avoiding known pitfalls. Cutting-edge and practical, Zika Virus: Methods and Protocols is a valuable resource for both novice and expert scientists interested in learning more about this important topic.
