INTERNATIONAL HERPESVIRUS WORKSHOP

这项提案要求提供资金，使年轻的调查人员能够参加 第19届国际疱疹病毒讲习班将在大学举行。英国人的 哥伦比亚大学，1994年8月。这个研讨会建立了一个声誉， 疱疹病毒学家的首届科学会议。因此，它 吸引了广泛的个人，包括基础科学家和 研究医生，以及一大批博士后和博士后 学生们。论坛是真正国际化的，与会者来自世界各地。 世界，这创造了一个极好的智力环境。 人类疱疹病毒会导致人类多种疾病。单纯疱疹病毒类型 1和2是众所周知的脑膜脑炎的病原体。 无论是婴儿还是成年人。人类巨细胞病毒不仅会导致先天性感染 和听力障碍，它是导致这两种疾病发病率的主要因素 移植和艾滋病患者。巨细胞病毒视网膜炎和肺炎是 举个例子。带状疱疹和带状疱疹后神经痛是 老年人。EB病毒与伯基特淋巴瘤有有趣的联系 非洲、中国南部的鼻咽癌和艾滋病的肿瘤 病人。重要的兽医感染发生在猴子、马、 牛、猪、家禽和鱼。未来的医疗应用包括 利用重组疱疹病毒作为基因治疗的载体。 研讨会按主题划分，包括：基因组结构， 发病机制，潜伏期，结构蛋白，基因调节，免疫学， 抗病毒治疗和耐药性、疫苗等。

This proposal requests funds to enable young investigators to attend the 19th International Herpesvirus Workshop to be held at the Univ. of British Columbia in August 1994. This workshop has established a reputation as the premier scientific meeting for herpesvirologists. Therefore, it attracts a wide range of individuals, including both basic scientists and research physicians, as well as a large number of pre- and post-doctoral students. The forum is truly international, with participants from around the world, which creates a superb intellectual environment. Human herpesviruses cause a wide number of diseases in humans. HSV types 1 and 2 are well known as the etiologic agents of meningoencephalitis in both infants and adults. Human CMV not only causes congenital infections and hearing deficits, it is a leading contributor to morbidity in both transplantation and AIDS patients. CMV retinitis and pneumonitis are examples. Herpes zoster and post herpetic neuralgia are problems in the elderly. EBV has a intriguing association with Burkitt lymphoma in Africa, nasopharyngeal carcinoma in south China, and tumors in AIDS patients. Infections of veterinary importance occur in monkeys, horses, cattle, swine, poultry and fish. Future medical applications include the use of recombinant herpesviruses as vectors for gene therapy. Workshop sessions are divided by topic and include: genome structure, pathogenesis, latency, structural proteins, gene regulation, immunology, antiviral therapy and resistance, vaccines, and others.
