The large number of molecular protocols available creates a dilemma for those attempting to adopt the most appropriate for streamlined identification and detection of fungal pathogens of interest. This volume contains expert contributions from international mycologists involved in fungal pathogen research and diagnosis. Following a similar format throughout, each chapter comprises a review of the classification, epidemiology, clinical features, and diagnosis of one or a group of related fungal species; an outline of clinical sample collection and preparation procedures; a selection of representative stepwise molecular detection protocols; and a discussion on further research requirements for improving the diagnosis.
