"I think this is an excellent book—I recommend it to anyone involved in molecular epidemiology.... The 26 chapters are written by topic specialists, in an explanatory, easy to read style." (BTS Newsletter, Summer 2009)

"This text provides an accessible and useful handbook for the epidemiologist who wants to survey the field, to become better informed, to look at recent developments and get some background on these or simply to appreciate further the relatively rapid changes in informatic and analytical technologies which increasingly will serve and underpin future epidemiological studies. One of the strengths in this book is the extensive array of practical illustrative examples, and it would also in my opinion have useful potential as a teaching text."
