DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The third international conference on Microbial Pathogenesis and Host Response will focus on interdisciplinary approaches to study infectious disease, integrating the disciplines of molecular microbiology, eukaryotic cell biology, immunology, and genomics. Microbial diseases have once again taken an important central role in health care worldwide, due to the emergence of new pathogens and the re-ascent of common pathogens. In particular, the greatly increased emphasis on developing strategies to prevent bioterrorism has also influenced the selection of speakers for the meeting. The meeting will provide an in depth focus on the approaches that are being used to elucidate the mechanisms of bacterial and fungal pathogenesis, and promote the application of these concepts to novel strategies for the control and intervention of infectious diseases. Oral and poster sessions will focus on major themes of microbial pathogenesis and the host response: how microbes adhere to host cells; how microbial pathogenesis is influenced by environmental cues; how microbial pathogens modulate host cells; how host cells respond to microbial pathogens; how the host immune system reacts to microbial pathogens; how microbial pathogens evolve; and how emerging pathogens take advantage of new ecological niches. The sessions will integrate studies on bacterial and fungal pathogens. The oral sessions will begin with 2-4 invited talks by established leaders in the field, followed by several shorter talks chosen from submitted abstracts. The inclusion of two poster sessions as well as the allotment of ample time for questions following each talk will encourage extensive discussion between the participants. The meeting will be small enough (300 - 400 scientists) to facilitate these interactions, yet large enough to allow for oral presentations not only from established investigators, but also from younger investigators and those with novel perspectives. The integration of a wide variety of aspects of bacterial and fungal pathogenesis with the host response to pathogens should promote new interdisciplinary interactions that are seldom achieved at other meetings on microbial pathogenesis that are either more narrowly focused or so diverse that the topics are difficult to integrate. The resulting interdisciplinary interactions will yield novel experimental approaches that might not otherwise be possible. The subsequent meetings (2005 and 2007) will follow a similar format and will include topics that are highly relevant at the time of the meeting.

描述（由申请人提供）：第三届微生物发病机理和宿主反应的国际会议将重点介绍研究传染病的跨学科方法，整合了分子微生物学，真核细胞生物学，免疫学和基因组学学科。由于新病原体的出现和常见病原体的重新出现，微生物疾病在全球卫生护理中再次扮演着重要的核心作用。特别是，人们对制定预防生物恐怖主义的战略的强烈重视也影响了会议的演讲者的选择。这次会议将深入侧重于用于阐明细菌和真菌发病机理机制的方法，并促进这些概念在控制和干预传染病的新型策略中的应用。口头和海报会议将集中在微生物发病机理的主要主题和宿主反应上：微生物如何粘附于宿主细胞；微生物发病机理如何受环境线索的影响；微生物病原体如何调节宿主细胞；宿主细胞如何应对微生物病原体；宿主免疫系统如何对微生物病原体反应；微生物病原体如何发展；以及新兴病原体如何利用新的生态位。这些会议将整合细菌和真菌病原体的研究。口头会议将从该领域的既定领导人进行2-4次邀请的会谈开始，然后从提交的摘要中选择了几次较短的演讲。包括两个海报会议以及每次谈话之后提出疑问的充足时间的分配将鼓励参与者之间进行广泛讨论。会议将足够小（300-400名科学家）来促进这些相互作用，但足够大，不仅可以允许既定的研究人员，而且还允许年轻的研究人员和具有新观点的研究人员进行口头介绍。细菌和真菌发病机理的各种方面与对病原体的宿主反应的整合应促进新的跨学科相互作用，这些相互作用在其他关于微生物发病机理的会议上很少实现，这些相互作用更狭窄，或更多样化，或者如此多样化，以至于很难集成。由此产生的跨学科相互作用将产生新的实验方法，这些方法可能是不可能的。随后的会议（2005年和2007年）将遵循类似的格式，并将包括会议时高度相关的主题。
