Abstract
SHS investigation development is considered from the geographical and historical viewpoint. 3 stages are described. Within Stage 1 the work was carried out in the Department of the Institute of Chemical Physics in Chernogolovka where the scientific discovery had been made. At Stage 2 the interest to SHS arose in different cities and towns of the former USSR. Within Stage 3 SHS entered the international scene. Now SHS processes and products are being studied in more than 50 countries.
Abstract
Diseases caused by pathogenic microbes have been a serious problem since
decades. They often cause high mortality in both developing and developed countries.
Diseases including diarrhea, cholera, typhoid, etc., are often involved in outbreaks
related to pathogens surviving in water. In recent years, the management of infectious
diseases has drawn much attention among scientists and researchers. Various specific,
sensitive and reproducible detection methods have been developed to identify pathogen
contamination in water. These advanced methods generally use probes for diagnostics
of pathogens. The present chapter attempts to focus on the development of various
probe chemistries for the detection of pathogens. We also intend to present here the
pros and cons of different methods.
