DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The Eighth Scientific Meeting of the International Leptospirosis Society will be held on October 8-11, 2013 at Kyushu University in Fukuoka, Japan. The site of the 2013 meeting was selected to commemorate the discovery of the causative agent of leptospirosis by Professor Ryokichi Inada and colleagues at Kyushu University one hundred years ago. The Scientific Meetings of the International Leptospirosis Society (ILS) have been the only international conferences devoted exclusively to the field of leptospirosis research. One of the strengths of the ILS Scientific Meeting is the wide range of scientific, diagnostic, and clinical expertise and interests of the attendees, all linked by a cental interest in leptospirosis. A strong effort was made to develop an innovative program for the 2013 ILS Scientific Meeting that covers the breadth of leptospiral research, with invited speakers in sessions focused on epidemiology of leptospirosis in human and animal populations, molecular microbiology and gene regulation, clinical paradigms in human and veterinary leptospirosis, innovations in leptospiral diagnostics, leptospirosis immunology and vaccines, and new insights in leptospiral pathogenesis. Firsts for the 2013 conference are our decisions to include speakers chosen from submitted abstracts in each of the conference's sessions and to include them in round-table discussions at each of the morning sessions. Each of the previous International Leptospirosis Society Scientific Meetings has been highly successful, receiving high praise by attendees, forging new collaborations, providing a forum for presenting state-of-the-art research on these bacteria, and helping to set new research directions. As in previous conferences, we expect attendance at the 2013 conference to include faculty, graduate students, postdoctoral fellows, and industrial scientists. A broad spectrum of scientists representing different research interests, geographic locations, and seniority will be invited to attend. For 2013, special efforts will be made to ensure strong attendance of young investigators (graduate students, post-docs, and junior faculty), women, and underrepresented minorities. The oral and poster presentations are organized to provide many opportunities for discussion, the exchange of ideas, and development of collaborations. Funding from the National Institutes of Health is requested to partially offset the travel and registration expenses of the participating graduate students, fellows, and junior faculty members from resource poor countries.

描述（由申请人提供）：国际钩端螺旋体病学会第八届科学会议将于2013年10月8日至11日在日本福冈九州大学举行。2013年会议的地点是为了纪念一百年前九州大学的稻田良吉教授和同事们发现钩端螺旋体病的病原体而选择的。国际钩端螺旋体病学会（ILS）的科学会议是唯一专门致力于钩端螺旋体病研究领域的国际会议。ILS科学会议的优势之一是广泛的科学，诊断和临床专业知识和与会者的利益，所有这些都与钩端螺旋体病的中心利益有关。为2013年ILS科学会议制定了一项涵盖钩端螺旋体研究范围的创新计划，邀请演讲者参加会议，重点关注人类和动物群体中钩端螺旋体病的流行病学，分子微生物学和基因调控，人类和兽医钩端螺旋体病的临床范例，钩端螺旋体诊断的创新，钩端螺旋体病免疫学和疫苗，以及对钩端螺旋体发病机制的新认识。2013年会议的第一个决定是，我们决定在会议的每一次会议上从提交的摘要中选出发言者，并在每次上午会议上将他们纳入圆桌讨论。 以前的每一次国际钩端螺旋体病学会科学会议都非常成功，受到与会者的高度赞扬，建立了新的合作，为展示这些细菌的最新研究提供了一个论坛，并帮助确定了新的研究方向。与以往的会议一样，我们预计2013年会议的与会者将包括教师、研究生、博士后研究员和工业科学家。将邀请代表不同研究兴趣、地理位置和资历的广泛科学家参加。2013年，特别努力 将确保年轻研究人员（研究生，博士后和初级教师），妇女和代表性不足的少数民族的大量出席。组织口头和海报展示是为了提供许多讨论、交流思想和发展合作的机会。要求国立卫生研究院提供资金，以部分抵消来自资源贫乏国家的参与研究生、研究员和初级教员的旅费和注册费。
