A wide range of molecular, immunological and cytological techniques are discussed throughout, with the inclusion of protocol section in each chapter designed to provide both a background a up-to-date account of the applications of each procedure. Every technique is fully referenced and illustrations are provided where required to enhance student understanding.

• comprehensive introduction to the key techniques critical to the study of medical mycology
• clear explanation of how each technique is applied in the lab
• contributions from internationally recognised experts in the field
• outlines the background to many techniques required for the successful completion of a research project

An invaluable reference for students of microbiology, biochemistry and molecular biology as well as postgraduates and researchers in the field of medical mycology looking for an up-to-date overview of the latest laboratory techniques.
