International Conference on Trichinellosis

描述（由申请人提供）：旋毛虫病国际会议的目的是汇集旋毛虫病领域的专家，以促进对寄生虫和疾病的理解。下一次会议将是第十一次会议（ICT-11），将于2004年8月8日至12日在加州的圣地亚哥举行。会议的主题范围很广，但严格限于旋毛虫。 会议将重点介绍基因组学、分子生物学和免疫学方面的最新研究成果，以及世界各地人类和动物群体中感染和疾病出现和重新出现的新数据。ICT-11为医生、兽医、诊断医生和实验室研究人员提供了一个及时和独特的机会，使他们能够在讨论寄生虫和疾病的各个方面时提出自己的观点。会议的规模小，重点突出，将有利于发起和继续旋毛虫病研究人员之间的许多研究合作。这次会议是一个特别宝贵的机会，让学员们在他们的专业之外冒险，使他们能够更好地了解生态和医学背景下的旋毛虫和旋毛虫病。 旋毛虫感染在人和动物中的全球流行率不断变化，新旋毛虫物种的鉴定，新遗传信息的可用性以及在阐明免疫机制方面的实质性进展，使这成为召集对旋毛虫病有共同兴趣的研究人员和公共卫生专家的绝佳时机。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The objective of the International Conference on Trichinellosis is to bring together experts in the field of trichinellosis for the purpose of advancing understanding of parasitism and disease. The next meeting will be the eleventh (ICT-11) and will take place on August 8-12, 2004 in San Diego, California. The conference has a broad scope within a topic that is strictly limited to Trichinella. The conference will highlight recent research findings in genomics, molecular biology and immunity as well as new data on the emergence and reemergence of infection and disease in human and animal populations in different parts of the world. ICT-11 affords a timely and unique opportunity for physicians, veterinarians, diagnosticians and laboratory researchers to contribute their perspectives in discussions of all aspects of the parasite and the disease. The small size and focus of the meeting will facilitate initiation and continuation of research collaborations which are numerous among researchers in trichinellosis. The conference is an especially valuable opportunity for trainees to venture outside of their specialties, allowing them to gain a better understanding of Trichinella and trichinellosis in ecological and medical contexts. The changing global prevalence of Trichinella infection in people and animals, the identification of new Trichinella species, the availability of new genetic information and substantive progress in elucidation of immune mechanisms makes this a highly opportune time to convene researchers and public health experts with shared interests in trichinellosis.
