About the Book

Internationally respected scientists and clinicians describe in step-by-step detail their most useful conventional and cutting-edge techniques for the study of malaria. Areas covered include clinical and laboratory diagnosis and typing, animal models, molecular biology, immunology, cell biology, vaccinology, laboratory models, and field applications. Each readily reproducible protocol has been tested, standardized, and optimized for experimental success, and includes many laboratory notes on troubleshooting, avoiding pitfalls, and interpreting results. Several of the most widely used methods are described here in detail for the first time or have been thoroughly updated since their original publication (e.g., in vitro culture of Plasmodium parasites and in vitro growth inhibition assay).

Table of Contents:
Assessing Risk of Infection and Severity of Disease.- Vector Incrimination and Entomological Inoculation Rates.- Epidemiological Measures of Risk of Malaria.- Laboratory Models.- Maintenance of the Plasmodium berghei Life Cycle.- Mouse Models for Pre-Erythrocytic-Stage Malaria.- Mouse Models for Erythrocytic-Stage Malaria.- Nonhuman Primate Models.- Nonhuman Primate Models.- Diagnosis and Typing.- Vector Analysis.- Genotyping of Plasmodium spp..- Genotyping of Plasmodium falciparum.- Microsatellite Analysis in Plasmodium falciparum.- Quantitation of Liver-Stage Parasites by Automated TaqMan® Real-Time PCR.- Quantitation of Liver-Stage Parasites by Competitive RT-PCR.- Molecular Biology Techniques.- Extraction and Purification of Plasmodium Total RNA.- Extraction and Purification of Plasmodium Parasite DNA.- Southern Blotting of Parasite DNA.- SDS-PAGE and Western Blotting of Plasmodium falciparum Proteins.- Nested PCR Analysis of Plasmodium Parasites.- RFLP Analysis.- Analysis of Gene Expression by RT-PCR.- In Situ Detection of RNA in Blood- and Mosquito-Stage Malaria Parasites.- Purification of Chromosomes from Plasmodium falciparum.- Construction of Genomic Libraries from the DNA of Plasmodium Species.- Construction of a Gene Library with Mung Bean Nuclease-Treated Genomic DNA.- Construction of Plasmodium falciparum ? cDNA Libraries.- Production of Stage-Specific Plasmodium falciparum cDNA Libraries Using Subtractive Hybridization.- Construction and Screening of YAC Libraries.- Episomal Transformation of Plasmodium berghei.- Gene Targeting in Plasmodium berghei.- Immunological Techniques.- Peptide Vaccination.- DNA Vaccination.- Assessing Antigen-Specific CD8+ and CD4+ T-Cell Responses in Mice After Immunization with Recombinant Viruses.- Assessing CD4+HelperT-Lymphocyte Responses by Lymphoproliferation.- Limiting Dilution Analysis of Antigen-Specific CD4+ T-Cell Responses in Mice.- Cell Trafficking.- Assessing Antigen-Specific Proliferation and Cytokine Responses Using Flow Cytometry.- Cytokine Analysis by Intracellular Staining.- Assessment of Antigen-Specific CTL- and CD8+-Dependent IFN-?

Review :
"In this book, internationally respected scientists and clinicians describe in step-by-step detail their most useful conventional and cutting-edge techniques for the study of malaria." - Clinical Laboratory International "This is an outstanding collection of protocols written by over eighty experts in the field. The geographical spread of these contributors is impressive, encompassing writers from thirteen countries on six continents. There is good stylistic continuity throughout the book, despite the diversity of the authors...there is admirable cross-referencing between chapters." -Molecular Biotechnology

    A Thrilling But Totally Believable Murder Mystery

    Read this in one evening. I had planned to do other things with my day, but it was impossible to put down. Every time I tried, I was drawn back to it in less than 5 minutes. I sobbed my eyes out the entire last 100 pages. Highly recommend!
