Meeting Summary: 31st Meeting of the American Society for Rickettsiology Rickettsial diseases are significant domestic and global causes of morbidity and death. In the United States, tick- borne rickettsial infections are responsible a majority of hospital admissions, ICU admissions, and fatalities. Many new Rickettsia and related species are recognized globally for their increase in prevalence and nearly all are neglected. The absence of an approved vaccine for humans, combined with insufficient laboratory diagnostics and challenging clinical diagnosis, suggest a public health need to examine the biology of rickettsiae. It is now realized that these obligate intracellular bacteria can vary from highly pathogenic to, in some cases, essential mutualistic organisms in arthropod vectors. Fundamental investigations into the differences in rickettsial interactions between vertebrate hosts and arthropod vectors are needed to address critical knowledge gaps. Research into the mechanisms that drive the biological interaction between Rickettsia and hosts in congruent with the Tick-Borne Disease Working Group report to Congress. This report emphasizes that understanding the factors contributing to Rickettsia’s ability to cause disease, would drive innovation and novel countermeasure development. The American Society for Rickettsiology (ASR) has a long history of organizing meetings that foster scientific interactions and intellectual exchange among experts on rickettsial diseases. The 31st Meeting of the ASR will be held June 25-28, 2022 in Greenville, SC, a central venue that will facilitate scientists, investigators and clinicians to gather, exchange ideas, and information, and to establish new multidisciplinary collaborations. Approximately 200 attendees representing early stage investigators, established scientists, and clinicians from academia, government, and industry are anticipated to attend. The conference’s overarching goal is to advance knowledge and stimulate interactions through oral presentations and poster sessions with audience-interactive and networking opportunities. To address the knowledge gaps, we propose a theme for the meeting entitled, “Advances in the Biological and Molecular Mechanisms of Rickettsial Pathogenesis.” The meeting’s aims are to (i) promote scientific exchange among participants through lectures and short talks; (ii) encourage participation by early career investigators and those underrepresented in the biomedical sciences through travel grants, research presentation opportunities, and by involvement in significant meeting organization roles; (iii) present cutting-edge research of diseases caused by arthropod-borne/obligate intracellular pathogens; and, (iv) foster intellectual exchange and networking between early career and established investigators. Participants’ child care needs and disability access will also be addressed. Support for travel awards for early career investigators and trainees from underrepresented groups, cost of coordination, and for audio-visual services and program production is requested.

会议摘要：美国立克次体学会第31次会议 立克次体病是国内和全球发病和死亡的重要原因。在美国，tick- 传播的立克次体感染是导致大多数住院、ICU住院和死亡的原因。 许多新的立克次体和相关物种因其流行率的增加而在全球范围内得到认可，几乎所有 被忽视了。缺乏批准的人类疫苗，加上实验室不足， 诊断和挑战性的临床诊断，建议公共卫生需要检查立克次体的生物学。 现在认识到，这些专性细胞内细菌可以从高致病性变化到，在某些情况下， 节肢动物媒介中的基本互惠生物。立克次体差异的基础研究 脊椎动物宿主和节肢动物媒介之间的相互作用需要解决关键的知识差距。 立克次体与宿主共融生物学相互作用机制的研究 蜱传疾病工作组向国会提交的报告本报告强调， 导致立克次体致病能力的因素，将推动创新和新的对策 发展美国立克次体学会（ASR）组织会议的历史悠久， 促进立克次体病专家之间的科学互动和知识交流。第31次会议 ASR将于2022年6月25日至28日在南卡罗来纳州格林维尔举行，这是一个中心场地，将为科学家， 研究人员和临床医生收集，交流思想和信息，并建立新的多学科 合作。约200名与会者代表早期研究人员，建立科学家， 来自学术界、政府和工业界的临床医生预计将参加。会议的总体目标 是通过口头报告和海报会议， 观众互动和网络机会。为了解决知识差距，我们提出了一个主题， 会议题为“立克次体致病的生物学和分子机制的进展”。的 会议的目的是：（i）通过讲座和简短的会谈促进与会者之间的科学交流;（ii） 鼓励早期职业调查人员和生物医学科学领域代表性不足的人员参与 通过旅行赠款、研究报告机会和参与重大会议组织 ㈢介绍对节肢动物传播/专性细胞内病原体引起的疾病的最新研究; 及（iv）促进初出茅庐的调查员与已建立的调查员之间的知识交流和网络联系。 与会者的儿童保育需求和残疾人通道也将得到解决。支助早期旅行奖 任职人数不足群体的职业调查员和受训人员、协调费用和视听 服务和节目制作。
