CONFERENCE:OPTIONS FOR THE CONTROL OF INFLUENZA IV

“控制IV型流感的方案”会议将于 2000年9月23日至28日在希腊克里特岛赫索诺西斯举行。会议 将汇集几乎涉及流感各个方面的工作人员， 从基础研究到新疫苗的开发和许可， 抗病毒药物，流行病学和控制计划。其目的是 会议将回顾分子病毒学的最新进展， 流感病毒的发病机理，并将其与 监测、快速诊断和改善治疗策略 和预防流感。关于反向使用的重要问题 基因创造1918年流感病毒和战略更新 并会考虑流感大流行计划。 研讨会主题包括： 影响：过去，现在和未来的方向;结构和功能;基因组 和操纵;发病机理;免疫学;疫苗;和抗病毒药。 研讨会的主题包括：全球菌株监测;抗原呈递和 处理;发病率和死亡率的监测和评估;临床 流感的管理;神经氨酸酶的开发和评价 抑制剂;诊断方法 实验室和床旁;成本效益 干预;复制;结构-功能关系;遗传学和 进化;免疫决定因素;致病决定因素;新 抗病毒药物的使用方法;国家流行病计划;流行病间的政策 流感控制;疫苗接种新方法;生态学（动物/禽类）; 动物流感;流感的基因操作。目前迫切 需要招募年轻科学家到流感病毒研究领域， 申请的目的是提供资金， 年轻的研究人员与他们的同龄人互动，使他们致力于 这个研究领域。

The "Options for the Control of Influenza IV Meeting" will be held in Hersonossis, Crete, Greece from September 23-28, 2000. The meeting will bring together workers involved in virtually all aspects of influenza, from basic research through the development and licensing of new vaccines and antiviral agents, to epidemiology and control programs. The aims of this meeting are to review the latest advances in molecular virology and pathogenesis of influenza viruses and relate them to the problems of surveillance, rapid diagnosis and improvement in strategies for the treatment and prevention of influenza. Important questions on the use of reverse genetics to create the 1918 influenza virus and strategies for updating the pandemic plan for influenza will be considered. Symposium topics include: Impact: Past, Present, and Future Directions; Structure and Function; Genome and Manipulation; Pathogenesis; Immunology; Vaccines; and Antivirals. Workshop topics include: Global strain surveillance; Antigen presentation and processing; Surveillance and assessment of morbidity and mortality; Clinical management of influenza; Development and evaluation of neuraminidase inhibitors; Diagnostic methods Laboratory and point of care; Cost-benefit of interventions; Replication; Structure-functional relationships; Genetics and evolution; Determinants of immunity; Determinants of pathogenicity; New approaches to antivirals; National pandemic plans; Policies for interpandemic influenza control; New approaches to vaccination; Ecology (animal/avian); Animal influenza; and Genetic manipulation of influenza. There is an urgent need to recruit young scientists to the field of influenza virus research and the purpose of the application is to provide funds that will allow promising young investigators to interact with their peers and make them committed to this field of research.
