项目摘要

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This proposal requests partial support for a meeting on "Tropical Infectious Diseases: from bench to field" as part of the Gordon Research Conference series to be held in Galveston, Texas, March 13-18, 2010. The broad and long-term goal of the conference is to increase our understanding of host-pathogen-vector interactions with the aim of developing new insights for controlling Tropical Infectious Diseases (TIDs). The specific aims of this meeting are to convene 33 speakers representing critical areas of neglected tropical disease research with a total of 150 participants for a five-day conference in a relatively isolated, relaxed setting. The program will open with two keynote presentations addressing present global needs for infectious disease research. The conference will focus on the diseases for which most significant recent progress is being made and on those of the highest medical importance. The sessions will cover arboviral diseases, cholera, filariases, leishmaniasis, malaria, rickettsioses and trypanosomiasis. Each session will consider recent basic discoveries in the areas of pathogen genomics, cell biology and immunology in the context of the most current findings from field based epidemiologic studies and intervention trials. The conference will close with two keynote presentations addressing the priorities for future TID research, emphasizing how parasite biology can be explored for disease control and the challenges of vaccine development. Two afternoon poster sessions will permit all participants to contribute to these topics. The significance of this application is that the Gordon Research Conference on TIDs provides a forum that brings together multidisciplinary members of the international research community on topical diseases. The intent is to promote discussions from basic to applied questions and to generate 'cross-fertilization' among different specialties and fields of knowledge while establishing a community of scientists interested in TIDs. The health relatedness of this application is that the discussions will define the important questions on basic science as they relate to the development of new strategies to control the most important tropical diseases. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: Approximately 1 billion people - one sixth of the world's population - suffer from one or more tropical infectious diseases. This Tropical Infectious Diseases (TIDs) Gordon Research Conference will bring together scientists working on the most prevalent TIDs and cover topics ranging from laboratory research to field-based applications. The health relatedness of this application is that the gathering of top scientists working in different but related fields will stimulate the generation of new ideas and foster cross-discipline collaboration with the aim of accelerating progress toward the control and elimination of TIDs.

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This proposal requests partial support for a meeting on "Tropical Infectious Diseases: from bench to field" as part of the Gordon Research Conference series to be held in Galveston, Texas, March 13-18, 2010. The broad and long-term goal of the conference is to increase our understanding of host-pathogen-vector interactions with the aim of developing new insights for controlling Tropical Infectious Diseases (TIDs).这次会议的具体目的是召集代表被忽视的热带疾病研究关键领域的33位讲话者，共有150名参与者参加了为期五天的会议，在一个相对孤立的，放松的环境中。该计划将开启两个主题演讲，以满足当前对传染病研究的全球需求。该会议将重点关注最近取得最大进展以及最重要的医学重要性的疾病。这些课程将涵盖弧菌病，霍乱，丝虫病，利什曼病，疟疾，立克菌和锥虫病。每个会议将在病原体基因组学，细胞生物学和免疫学领域的最新基本发现中，在基于现场的流行病学研究和干预试验的最新发现的背景下。该会议将结束两个主题演讲，旨在解决未来的TID研究的优先事项，并强调如何探索寄生虫生物学以进行疾病控制和疫苗开发的挑战。两个下午的海报会议将使所有参与者都可以为这些主题做出贡献。该申请的意义在于，戈登（Gordon）的TIDS研究会议提供了一个论坛，该论坛汇集了国际局部疾病研究界的多学科成员。目的是促进从基本问题到应用问题的讨论，并在不同的专业和知识领域之间产生“交叉利用”，同时建立对TIDS感兴趣的科学家社区。该应用程序的健康相关性是，讨论将定义基础科学上的重要问题，因为它们与控制最重要的热带疾病的新策略有关。公共卫生相关性：大约有10亿人口（占世界人口的六人）患有一种或多种热带传染病。这次热带传染病（TIDS）戈登研究会议将汇集研究最普遍的TID的科学家，并涵盖从实验室研究到基于现场的应用程序等主题。该应用的健康相关性是，在不同但相关领域工作的顶级科学家的聚集将刺激新思想的产生，并促进跨学科的合作，以加速进步，以控制和消除TIDS。
