"This book is unique in presenting current technologies available for detection of animal coronaviruses and research especially for diagnostic methodologies. The intention is to provide specific protocols and methods for individual coronaviruses, both conventional approaches and state-of-the art technologies. ... The primary audience is diagnosticians, interns, and residents who work in the laboratory, but graduate students and researchers will benefit as well. ... The book is essential for researchers and diagnosticians in veterinary virology." (Dongwan Yoo, Doody's Book Reviews, June, 2016)

This detailed volume provides diagnosticians and researchers with practical methodologies and approaches to tackle animal coronaviruses. It explores conventional immunohistochemistry, virus neutralization, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays, expression and purification of recombinant viral proteins, and various molecular assays, including conventional and real-time reverse transcription-PCR, reverse genetics methodology, and next generation sequencing and sequence analyses. As part of the Springer Protocols Handbooks series, chapters contain readily reproducible laboratory protocols as well as expert tips on troubleshooting and avoiding known pitfalls.
Practical and authoritative, Animal Coronaviruses serves as an ideal reference for researchers examining a wide variety of coronavirus species in the Coronaviridae.
