This proposal requests funds to enable young investigators to attend the 19th International Herpesvirus Workshop to be held at the Univ. of British Columbia in August 1994. This workshop has established a reputation as the premier scientific meeting for herpesvirologists. Therefore, it attracts a wide range of individuals, including both basic scientists and research physicians, as well as a large number of pre- and post-doctoral students. The forum is truly international, with participants from around the world, which creates a superb intellectual environment. Human herpesviruses cause a wide number of diseases in humans. HSV types 1 and 2 are well known as the etiologic agents of meningoencephalitis in both infants and adults. Human CMV not only causes congenital infections and hearing deficits, it is a leading contributor to morbidity in both transplantation and AIDS patients. CMV retinitis and pneumonitis are examples. Herpes zoster and post herpetic neuralgia are problems in the elderly. EBV has a intriguing association with Burkitt lymphoma in Africa, nasopharyngeal carcinoma in south China, and tumors in AIDS patients. Infections of veterinary importance occur in monkeys, horses, cattle, swine, poultry and fish. Future medical applications include the use of recombinant herpesviruses as vectors for gene therapy. Workshop sessions are divided by topic and include: genome structure, pathogenesis, latency, structural proteins, gene regulation, immunology, antiviral therapy and resistance, vaccines, and others.

该提案要求提供资金，使年轻的研究人员能够参加 第19届国际疱疹病毒研讨会将在大学举行英国的 1994 年 8 月在哥伦比亚举行。该研讨会已建立了以下声誉： 疱疹病毒学家的首要科学会议。 因此，它 吸引了广泛的个人，包括基础科学家和 研究医师，以及大量的博士前和博士后 学生。 该论坛是真正的国际化论坛，参与者来自世界各地 世界，创造了优越的智力环境。 人类疱疹病毒可引起人类多种疾病。 单纯疱疹病毒类型 1和2是众所周知的脑膜脑炎的病因 婴儿和成人。 人类巨细胞病毒不仅会引起先天性感染 和听力缺陷，它是导致这两种疾病发病的主要原因 移植和艾滋病患者。 CMV 视网膜炎和肺炎是 例子。 带状疱疹和带状疱疹后神经痛是 老年。 EBV 与伯基特淋巴瘤有有趣的关联 非洲、中国南方的鼻咽癌和艾滋病中的肿瘤 患者。 具有兽医重要性的感染发生在猴子、马、 牛、猪、家禽和鱼。 未来的医疗应用包括 使用重组疱疹病毒作为基因治疗的载体。 研讨会按主题划分，包括：基因组结构、 发病机制、潜伏期、结构蛋白、基因调控、免疫学、 抗病毒治疗和耐药性、疫苗等。
