Molecular Diagnosis of Salmonid Diseases

This is a comprehensive collection of molecular techniques for diagnosing diseases important in the culture and conservation of salmonid fish. It brings together leading authors in this rapidly growing field and provides an overview of the state of the art from the perspective of practical application of these methods in diagnostic laboratories. This book should serve as a useful handbook for diagnosticians and researchers involved in fish disease, particularly laboratories establishing these diagnostic tests for the first time, providing background information on many of the diseases and their causative organisms.
