DESCRIPTION: This Keystone Symposium is a one of a kind meeting that focuses on multicellular eukaryotic parasites that are a major cause of morbidity in the world. This will be the third meeting; the last meeting was in 1996. The symposium is designed not just to present the recent findings in the field of molecular helminthology, but also to take advantage of the molecular and genetic systems available from other multicellular eukaryotic worms, such as Caenorhabditis elegans. The task is to integrate the vast knowledge available from C. elegans with that available from parasitic helminths and translate that information into relevant directions in the study of parasitic helminths. Young scientists (graduate students and postdoctoral fellows) should benefit greatly from the exposure to approaches that utilize the vast amounts of available genomic information to enhance our understanding of diseases. Other meetings include some helminth studies, such as the Gordon Conference, Molecular Parasitology at Woods Hole, and the American Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene. All but the Woods Hole meeting are broad in scope. All have a major component that deals with protozoan parasites; in the Molecular Parasitology meeting, 99% of the papers are about protozoan parasites. The Keystone Symposium is unique in that it uses information such as the complete genome sequence from C. elegans to gain insights into pathways that will be targets for intervention and control of helminth parasites. Research on helminth parasites is underrepresented, in part due to a lack of a good genetic system for study. The integration of the C. elegans approach to helminth research may spur needed advances in parasitic helminth research. Among this conference's goals is to inspire young scientists who will set the direction for the future.

描述：这次键盘研讨会是一次聚焦的会议 在多细胞真核寄生虫上，这是发病率的主要原因 世界。这将是第三次会议；上次会议是在1996年。 研讨会的设计不仅是为了介绍该领域的最新发现 分子舵系，但也利用分子和 来自其他多细胞真核生物蠕虫的遗传系统，例如 秀丽隐杆线虫。 任务是整合可用的广泛知识 来自秀丽隐杆线虫，可从寄生虫中获得并翻译 这些信息涉及寄生蠕虫研究研究的相关方向。 年轻科学家（研究生和博士后研究员）应该受益 从使用大量的方法中，很大程度上 可用的基因组信息以增强我们对疾病的理解。 其他 会议包括一些蠕虫研究，例如戈登会议， 伍兹霍尔（Woods Hole）的分子寄生虫学和美国热带学会 医学和卫生。 除了森林洞之外的所有会议范围都广泛。 全部 具有处理原生动物寄生虫的主要成分；在分子中 寄生学会议，99％的论文是关于原生动物的寄生虫。 这 Keystone研讨会的独特之处在于它使用了诸如完整的信息 秀丽隐杆线虫的基因组序列可以洞悉将是将是 干预和控制蠕虫寄生虫的目标。 研究 蠕虫寄生虫的人数不足，部分原因是缺乏良好 研究的遗传系统。 秀丽隐杆线虫方法的整合 蠕虫研究可能刺激了寄生蠕虫研究所需的进步。 这次会议的目标包括激发年轻科学家 未来的方向。
