Description
A Laboratory Manual for the Isolation, Identification and Characterization of Avian Pathogens, 5th Edition has its origins in the need for a book to codify standardized method for testing and evaluating poultry vaccines. With the 5th edition, the AAAP appointed Dr. Louise Dufour-Zavala as Editor-in-Chief. David Swayne served as advisor to the Editor-in-Chief and section editor. John Glisson, Willie M. Reed, Mark W. Jackwood and James E. Pearson continued as section editors for their expertise in bacteriology, veterinary diagnostics, molecular biology, and virology. The National Academy of Sciences sponsored the original publication entitled Methods for the Examination of Poultry Biologics, and completed two successive revisions. In 1975, the American Association of Avian Pathologists (AAAP) accepted responsibility for the publication, but because the need for standardizing testing of vaccines had been met, the scope and purpose of the manual was broadened to be a resource for laboratory procedures for the isolation and identification of disease-causing agents. The title was changed to Isolation and Identification of Avian Pathogens for the 1st edition and to A Laboratory Manual for the Isolation and Identification of Avian Pathogens for the 3rd edition. 123 p.
