项目摘要

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The Eighth Scientific Meeting of the International Leptospirosis Society will be held on October 8-11, 2013 at Kyushu University in Fukuoka, Japan. The site of the 2013 meeting was selected to commemorate the discovery of the causative agent of leptospirosis by Professor Ryokichi Inada and colleagues at Kyushu University one hundred years ago. The Scientific Meetings of the International Leptospirosis Society (ILS) have been the only international conferences devoted exclusively to the field of leptospirosis research. One of the strengths of the ILS Scientific Meeting is the wide range of scientific, diagnostic, and clinical expertise and interests of the attendees, all linked by a cental interest in leptospirosis. A strong effort was made to develop an innovative program for the 2013 ILS Scientific Meeting that covers the breadth of leptospiral research, with invited speakers in sessions focused on epidemiology of leptospirosis in human and animal populations, molecular microbiology and gene regulation, clinical paradigms in human and veterinary leptospirosis, innovations in leptospiral diagnostics, leptospirosis immunology and vaccines, and new insights in leptospiral pathogenesis. Firsts for the 2013 conference are our decisions to include speakers chosen from submitted abstracts in each of the conference's sessions and to include them in round-table discussions at each of the morning sessions. Each of the previous International Leptospirosis Society Scientific Meetings has been highly successful, receiving high praise by attendees, forging new collaborations, providing a forum for presenting state-of-the-art research on these bacteria, and helping to set new research directions. As in previous conferences, we expect attendance at the 2013 conference to include faculty, graduate students, postdoctoral fellows, and industrial scientists. A broad spectrum of scientists representing different research interests, geographic locations, and seniority will be invited to attend. For 2013, special efforts will be made to ensure strong attendance of young investigators (graduate students, post-docs, and junior faculty), women, and underrepresented minorities. The oral and poster presentations are organized to provide many opportunities for discussion, the exchange of ideas, and development of collaborations. Funding from the National Institutes of Health is requested to partially offset the travel and registration expenses of the participating graduate students, fellows, and junior faculty members from resource poor countries.

描述（由申请人提供）：国际钩端螺旋体病学会第八届科学会议将于 2013 年 10 月 8 日至 11 日在日本福冈九州大学举行。 2013年会议的举办地点是为了纪念一百年前九州大学稻田良吉教授及其同事发现钩端螺旋体病的病原体。国际钩端螺旋体病学会 (ILS) 的科学会议是唯一专门致力于钩端螺旋体病研究领域的国际会议。 ILS 科学会议的优势之一是与会者广泛的科学、诊断和临床专业知识和兴趣，所有这些都与对钩端螺旋体病的主要兴趣联系在一起。我们付出了巨大努力，为 2013 年 ILS 科学会议制定了一项创新计划，涵盖钩端螺旋体研究的广度，受邀演讲者在会议上重点关注人类和动物群体中钩端螺旋体病的流行病学、分子微生物学和基因调控、人类临床范例和兽医钩端螺旋体病，钩端螺旋体诊断的创新，钩端螺旋体病免疫学和疫苗，以及钩端螺旋体病的新见解发病机制。 2013 年会议的首要任务是我们决定从提交的摘要中选出发言人参加会议的每场会议，并让他们参加每场上午会议的圆桌讨论。之前的每届国际钩端螺旋体病学会科学会议都非常成功，受到与会者的高度赞扬，建立了新的合作，为展示这些细菌的最先进研究提供了一个论坛，并帮助设定新的研究方向。与往届会议一样，我们预计 2013 年会议的出席者包括教师、研究生、博士后研究员和工业科学家。代表不同研究兴趣、地理位置和资历的广泛科学家将被邀请参加。 2013年专项行动将确保年轻研究人员（研究生、博士后和初级教师）、女性和代表性不足的少数族裔的大量参与。口头和海报展示的目的是提供许多讨论、交流想法和发展合作的机会。要求美国国立卫生研究院提供资金，部分抵消来自资源匮乏国家的参与研究生、研究员和初级教员的旅行和注册费用。
