Proposal Summary Melioidosis is an emerging infectious disease caused by the Gram-negative bacterium Burkholderia pseudomallei. Mostly confined to the tropics the bacterium's established habitat reaches around the globe. The global at risk population is estimated at >3 billion people. Although case numbers are significantly lower than those of well-known diseases such as tuberculosis, malaria, leptospirosis and dengue, the global fatality of human melioidosis is substantially higher than that of e.g. dengue and leptospirosis. Hence, in terms of mortality melioidosis could potentially be one of the main “killer” diseases of the tropics. There is an increasing interest in melioidosis worldwide, and a growing realization that awareness, diagnosis, treatment and prevention are a matter of great public health importance. Perhaps nowhere is the interest higher than in South Asia. This is a region estimated to bear 44% of the global melioidosis burden, yet awareness of the disease and its bacterial cause remains very low. There is therefore an urgent and continuing need to bring together subject matter experts, clinicians, academicians, health care workers, and students to disseminate knowledge, to educate, and to put into clinical practice our evolving knowledge of melioidosis and its bacterial cause B. pseudomallei. The specific aim of this application is to secure funds for travel, accommodation and registration to enable at least 10-12 individuals – mostly trainee level clinical researchers, postdoctoral researchers, and students - to attend the 2nd South Asian Melioidosis Conference (SAMC2017) that will be held in Colombo, Sri Lanka, from August 29-30, 2017. The main objectives of SAMC2017 are to bring together 75-100 subject matter experts, clinicians, academicians, students, and health care workers to: 1) communicate and discuss new findings from academic laboratories and clinical settings; 2) discuss strategies to put into clinical practice proper diagnostics and therapeutics to control and prevent melioidosis; and 3) aim to sustain such efforts beyond the conference by developing and/or maintaining strong collaborations and ways to readily disseminate information in South Asia and beyond. The lessons learned from the 1st South Asian Melioidosis Conference that was held in 2015 in Manipal, India, clearly showed that the current needs in South Asia are special and that they cannot be met by any of the other regularly scheduled melioidosis meetings.

提案摘要 类鼻疽是一种由革兰氏阴性菌伯克霍尔德氏菌引起的新发传染病 假鼻疽菌主要局限于该细菌的栖息地到达的热带地区。 全球高危人群估计超过 30 亿。 明显低于结核病、疟疾、钩端螺旋体病等众所周知的疾病 登革热，人类类鼻疽的全球死亡率远高于登革热和登革热等疾病。 因此，就死亡率而言，类鼻疽可能是主要的“杀手”之一。 全世界对类鼻疽病的关注度与日俱增。 认识到认识、诊断、治疗和预防是重大公共卫生问题 也许没有哪个地区比南亚更受关注。 占全球类鼻疽负担的 44%，但对该疾病及其细菌病因的认识仍然存在 因此，迫切需要将主题专家聚集在一起， 牧师、院士、医护人员和学生传播知识、教育和 将我们对类鼻疽及其细菌病因类鼻疽杆菌的不断发展的知识应用于临床实践。 该申请的具体目的是确保获得旅行、住宿和注册资金 至少支持 10-12 人——主要是见习级临床研究人员、博士后研究人员、 和学生 - 参加第二届南亚类鼻疽会议（SAMC2017），该会议将于 斯里兰卡科伦坡，2017 年 8 月 29 日至 30 日。SAMC2017 的主要目标是将 75-100 名主题专家、信徒、院士、学生和医护人员：1) 交流和讨论学术实验室和临床环境的新发现；2) 讨论 将适当的诊断和治疗应用于临床实践以控制和预防的策略 类鼻疽；和 3) 旨在通过发展和/或维持在会议之后维持此类努力 强有力的合作以及在南亚及其他地区轻松传播信息的方式。 2015 年在印度马尼帕尔举行的第一届南亚类鼻疽会议的经验教训， 清楚地表明南亚当前的需求是特殊的，任何一方都无法满足这些需求。 其他定期安排的类鼻疽会议。
