DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Funds are requested to support the 13th International Conference on Lyme Borreliosis and Other Tick-Borne Diseases. This meeting, which has been held every 2-3 years since 1983, has become the premiere conference for showcasing research advances in human diseases transmitted by Ixodes ticks. The diseases included in this conference are Lyme borreliosis, babesiosis, human granulocytic anaplasmosis (ehrlichiosis) and tick-borne encephalitis. The conference serves a unique niche in that it brings together clinicians, clinical researchers, veterinarians, ecologists, entomologists, and laboratory researchers in a multidisciplinary approach to understanding the diseases. The tick-borne diseases represented at this conference continue to increase in incidence and geographic distribution. Research into these pathogens and approaches to control human disease has also increased exponentially. The members of the organizing and scientific program committees of this conference are all leaders in the field and the makeup of the committees reflects the diversity of interests in the field. The meeting will be held Aug 18-21st in Boston, MA. We expect that the meeting will draw approximately 350 attendees, half of whom will be researchers based in the U.S. and the other half from other countries (predominantly European nations where Lyme borreliosis and other tick-borne diseases are endemic). In order to ensure that we select the most cutting-edge and current research for presentation, the majority speakers will be selected by the Scientific Program Committee from the abstract proposals submitted to the conference. Each of the sessions will focus on a specific aspect of tick-borne diseases-ecology of ticks, clinical manifestations of disease, diagnosis, animal models, human studies or molecular pathogenesis-and will begin with a plenary session to provide an expert overview on the state of research in the area. The meeting has been designed to maximize interactions among the participants while ensuring that the needs of a diverse body of attendees are met. Participation from traditionally underrepresented minority groups will be actively solicited.

描述（由申请人提供）：要求资金支持第13届莱姆毛毛病和其他tick虫疾病的国际会议。这次会议自1983年以来每2 - 3年举行一次，已成为展示IXODES tick虫传播的人类疾病研究进展的首映会议。本次会议中包括的疾病是莱姆毛毛病，巴布西病，人类粒细胞肿瘤（Ehrlichiisois）和tick传播脑炎。该会议为一个独特的利基市场提供服务，因为它汇集了临床医生，临床研究人员，兽医，生态学家，昆虫学家和实验室研究人员，采用多学科方法来理解疾病。在本次会议上代表的tick传播疾病继续增加发病率和地理分布。对这些病原体和控制人类疾病的方法的研究也呈指数增长。该会议的组织和科学计划委员会的成员都是该领域的领导人，委员会的构成反映了该领域利益的多样性。会议将于8月18日至21日在马萨诸塞州的波士顿举行。我们预计会议将吸引大约350名与会者，其中一半将是美国的研究人员，另一半将来自其他国家（主要是欧洲国家，那里是莱姆伯氏病和其他tick虫疾病的地方）。为了确保我们为演讲选择最前沿和当前的研究，科学计划委员会将从提交会议的摘要提案中选出大多数发言人。每个课程都将集中于tick传播疾病生物学，疾病，诊断，动物模型，人类研究或分子发病机理的特定方面，并从全体疗程开始，以提供有关该地区研究状态的专家概述。这次会议旨在最大程度地提高参与者之间的互动，同时确保满足各种与会者的需求。传统上代表性不足的少数群体的参与将被积极征求。
