However, integration of these techniques into epidemiologic studies also poses new challenges in the design, conduct, and analysis. This book presents the key points of consideration when integrating molecular biology and epidemiology; discusses how using molecular tools in epidemiologic research affects program design and conduct; considers the ethical concerns that arise in molecular epidemiologic studies; and provides a context for understanding and interpreting scientific literature as a foundation for subsequent practical experience in the laboratory and in the field.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe book is recommended for graduate and advanced undergraduate students studying infectious disease epidemiology and molecular epidemiology; and for the epidemiologist wishing to integrate molecular techniques into his or her studies.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Betsy Foxman\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0123741335\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780123741332\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Academic Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/31\/2011\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 240\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.02lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.90h x 8.70w x 0.80d","brand":"Betsy Foxman","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48135909540095,"sku":"9780123741332","price":79.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_6e7907b3-2d21-4f62-8ad6-0f6676d1523a.jpg?v=1770159259","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/molecular-tools-and-infectious-disease-betsy-foxman-9780123741332","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
