Diagnostic techniques are in a time of change.
Molecular diagnostic techniques have evolved in
step with the discoveries of molecular biology
over the past twenty-five years.
Molecular techniques are more sensitive
than classical techniques, and more specific.
In contrast to classical diagnostic techniques,
molecular methods use reagents and reactions derived
from living organisms. They open up a whole spectrum
of new tools and approaches to the challenging
task of diagnosing animal disease. As recent outbreaks
of major diseases show, rapid and accurate diagnosis
is a fundamental requirement in the prevention
and management of major epizootic outbreaks.
The challenge of using molecular
techniques lies in the additional levels of training
commonly needed for those using them, together
with specialist equipment. This Overview
program is an essential resource for those in
need of that training, and can be used by laboratory
personnel for their ongoing reference. It can
be used stand alone, but is also designed to be
used in conjunction with the Advanced Veterinary
Information System (AVIS) and Good Emergency Management
Practice (GEMP).
