virology, basic protocols in cell and virus culture, bioinformatics, and
proteomics approaches in cellular response studies. Chikungunya Virus:
Methods and Protocols also discusses methods in immunology and animal model
studies, as well as different strategies of antivirals and vaccine development
for therapeutics against CHIKV infection. Written in the highly successful Methods
in Molecular Biology series format, chapters include introductions to their
respective topics, lists of the necessary material and reagents, step-by-step,
readily reproducible laboratory protocols, and tips on troubleshooting and avoiding
known pitfalls.
Thorough and practical, Chikungunya Virus: Methods and Protocols is a
useful and comprehensive resource for CHIKV researchers and anyone interested
