"This is the only book I know that is readily comprehensible to individuals without previous experience in virology and still essential as a handbook at the laboratory bench for those with virology backgrounds. The book's directions and illustrations are clear, readable, and easily followed. They include techniques for isolating rarely seen viruses and extensive photographs of cytopathic effects induced by viruses in cultured cells. No other books on the market include this detailed information in such a simple, concise format."—Helen L. Lucia, M.D., University of Mississippi Medical Center
"Instructors and supervisors of virology laboratory personnel will find this book an invaluable aid for instruction, and medical laboratory virologists will find it a convenient reference in their work."—Marion K. Cooney, American Society for Microbiology News
"A major comprehensive guide for all who may be interested in diagnostic and experimental virology. The book can be readily used, in addition, as a handbook for virus recognition and characterization, and as a teaching guide for virology classroom use. . . . This book should be well received by individuals representing a rather large range of virologic interests, but should be of particular value for those desiring detailed methodologies for diagnostic virology."—R.W. Sidwell, Chemotherapy (on the earlier edition)
"This book should serve as a valuable teaching and laboratory guide for medical virology in addition to providing a much-needed and functional reference resource for diagnostic laboratorians."—Robert R. Gilfillan, American Scientist
"This reference book contains a collection of basic procedures and photographs useful for the detection and diagnosis of human viral infections. Few, if any, other sources contain as complete a description of techniques as well as photographic representations of the effects of viruses on various indicator host cell types. . . . This work should be a useful resource book for the clinical virology laboratory with excellent quality photos and easy to follow, complete procedures used in classic diagnostic virology."—Jerry Lynn Taylor, Doody's Annual
