项目摘要

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The viruses that (since 1996) constitute the taxonomic order Nidovirales (Arteriviruses, Coronaviruses, Toroviruses and Roniviruses) cause significant disease in humans, simians, a large number of livestock species, poultry, shrimp, insects and whales. Human coronaviruses are the second leading cause of the human cold, accounting for acute economic costs, and the recent discovery of a previously unknown coronavirus that is now associated with Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS), a newly emerged infectious disease in humans, underpins the importance of scientific research in this field. In addition, in the late 1980's, porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV), the newest member of arteriviruses family emerged in Europe and North America simultaneously and is now endemic worldwide. The emergence of these new viruses have changed the focus of nidovirus research and enticed many new investigators into this field of study. The International Nidovirus Symposium, a triennial meeting, is unique in bringing together scientists engaged in various aspects of nidoviruses study including molecular biology, pathogenesis, immunology, evolution and epidemiology and vaccine development. For newcomers to this field, the symposium is an excellent opportunity to obtain an overview of the most recent developments, and to discuss ideas with experts in particular areas of nidovirology. Several graduate student and th postdoctoral travel awards will be given to encourage young scientists to attend this XII International Nidovirus Symposium. In addition, invited guest speakers will discuss other important research areas so that participants could update their knowledge bank and learn of new advances brought about in the larger universe of viruses. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: The XII International Nidovirus Symposium is a high quality scientific meeting that provides a venue for virologists who are working on important group of positive stranded RNA viruses that pose a significant threat to the public health to share their research findings with other scientists from around the world. The primary objective of this symposium parallels the scientific mission of the NIH. This symposium is unique in bringing scientists together who study different aspects of nidoviruses, such as molecular biology, pathogenesis, evolution and epidemiology, immunology and vaccine development. The cost of the symposium will be covered by the registration fees and donations from private industry. However, under current economic conditions obtaining donations from industry will be difficult, and therefore, as th organizers of the XII International Symposium, we are requesting support through this conference grant application. 1

描述（由申请人提供）：构成 Nidovirales 分类目（动脉炎病毒、冠状病毒、环形病毒和罗尼病毒）的病毒（自 1996 年起）在人类、猿类、大量牲畜、家禽、虾、昆虫和鲸鱼中引起严重疾病。人类冠状病毒是人类感冒的第二大原因，造成了严重的经济损失，最近发现了一种以前未知的冠状病毒，这种冠状病毒现在与严重急性呼吸系统综合症（SARS）这种新出现的人类传染病有关，为人类感冒的第二大原因奠定了基础。该领域科学研究的重要性。此外，20世纪80年代末，动脉病毒家族的最新成员猪繁殖与呼吸综合征病毒(PRRSV)同时在欧洲和北美出现，目前在全球范围内流行。这些新病毒的出现改变了巢病毒研究的焦点，并吸引了许多新的研究人员进入这一研究领域。国际巢病毒研讨会每三年一次，其独特之处在于汇集了从事巢病毒研究各个方面的科学家，包括分子生物学、发病机制、免疫学、进化和流行病学以及疫苗开发。对于该领域的新人来说，研讨会是一个绝佳的机会，可以了解最新进展，并与巢病毒学特定领域的专家讨论想法。将颁发若干研究生和博士后旅行奖，以鼓励年轻科学家参加第十二届国际尼多病毒研讨会。此外，受邀演讲嘉宾还将讨论其他重要的研究领域，以便参与者能够更新他们的知识库并了解更大病毒领域带来的新进展。公共健康相关性：第十二届国际 Nidovirus 研讨会是一次高质量的科学会议，为研究对公共健康构成重大威胁的重要正链 RNA 病毒的病毒学家提供了一个场所，与来自其他国家的其他科学家分享他们的研究成果。世界各地。本次研讨会的主要目标与美国国立卫生研究院的科学使命一致。这次研讨会的独特之处在于，将研究巢病毒不同方面的科学家聚集在一起，例如分子生物学、发病机制、进化和流行病学、免疫学和疫苗开发。研讨会的费用将由注册费和私营企业的捐款支付。然而，在目前的经济条件下，获得工业界的捐款将是困难的，因此，作为第十二届国际研讨会的组织者，我们通过本次会议拨款申请请求支持。 1
