Language: English.\u003c\/p\u003e\n \u003cp\u003eViruses do not behave as other microbes; their life cycles require infecting healthy cells, commandeering their cellular apparatus, replicating and then killing the host cell. Methods for virus detection and identification have been developed only in the past few decades. These recently developed methods include molecular, physical, and proteomic techniques. All these approaches (Electron Microscopy, Molecular, Direct Counting, and Mass Spectrometry Proteomics) to detection and identification are reviewed in this succinct volume. It is written in approachable language with enough detail for trained professionals to follow and want to recommend to others.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eKey Features\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eCovers common detection methods \u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eReviews the history of detection from antiquity to the present\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eDocuments the strengths and weaknesses of various detection methods\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eDescribes how to detect newly discovered viruses\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eRecommends specific applications for clinical, hospital, environmental, and public health uses\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e  \n\n                                         Editorial Reviews                   About the Author   Charles H.
