Leptospirosis has emerged as a globally important infectious disease threat in both developing and developed countries. Rapid advances in the field have taken place in recent years, with publication of four complete Leptospira genome sequences, publication of microarray and proteomics-based research, and the integration of modern genetics into delineation of host-pathogen interactions. The Fifth meeting of the International Leptospirosis Society will take place in Quito, Ecuador September 17-20, 2007. The purpose of the meeting is to present multidisciplinary and diverse aspects of Leptospira and leptospirosis towards the translation of laboratory advances to better methods of prevention and treatment. Topics of discussion will include: global epidemiology of leptospirosis and burden of disease, Leptospira genomics and proteomics, molecular and cellular pathogenesis, mechanisms of host response and protective immunity, and vaccine development. Participants will include international experts in the field, and postdoctoral and graduate trainees from the United States, Asia, Australia, Europe and Africa. Keynote speakers will include established and new investigators in the field. Funds requested will used to support trainee travel and accommodations. A call for trainee abstracts will be sent through US and international organizations, and efforts to target trainees will be made to senior and first authors of recently published papers and NIH grants. Trainees will compete for support by submitting a research abstract for support by an ILS committee. Selection factors will include quality of abstract, geographic, and gender diversity. Outcome of the meeting will be assessed by peer-reviewed publication and trainee publication and career advancement.
