Medical Mycology is a comprehensive text covering a variety of techniques critical to the study of medical mycology. Drawing together contributions from both scientists and clinicians working in the field, the text covers techniques essential for ongoing research in the area and provides a valuable perspective on the applicability of specific techniques to patient care.A wide range of molecular, immunological and cytological techniques are discussed throughout with a protocol section and an introduction designed to provide a background and an up-to-date account of the applications of each procedure. Each technique is fully referenced and illustrations enhance the understanding. Materials for each procedure are clearly described with a step-by-step guide also included. Each chapter gives a clear and concise overview of the essential techniques and how they can be applied to the study of medical mycology.Truly outstanding in the scope of topics covered, Medical Mycology is most useful as a reference for postgraduates and researchers in the field of medical mycology. It is also an indispensable resource for final year undergraduates and all those interested in this exciting new area of research.
