The book will present existing methodology and highlight where improvements can be made, as well as have a strong focus on applications and the ways in which new technology could be applied in water management. Additionally, it addresses issues of sample preparation (from sampling to concentration and enrichment), a key stage in any detection protocol.
- Covers the gap of specific sound methods of pathogen detection by fulfulling the need for a concept book on the novel technologies for pathogen detection in water
- Presents all cutting-edge technologies for pathogen detection in water as well as recent emerging technologies
- Addresses all three types of pathogens; this combined knowledge helps to understand all potential pathogens in water
