英文摘要
Proposal Summary
Melioidosis is an emerging infectious disease caused by the Gram-negative bacterium Burkholderia
pseudomallei. Mostly confined to the tropics the bacterium's established habitat reaches around the
globe. The global at risk population is estimated at >3 billion people. Although case numbers are
significantly lower than those of well-known diseases such as tuberculosis, malaria, leptospirosis and
dengue, the global fatality of human melioidosis is substantially higher than that of e.g. dengue and
leptospirosis. Hence, in terms of mortality melioidosis could potentially be one of the main “killer”
diseases of the tropics. There is an increasing interest in melioidosis worldwide, and a growing
realization that awareness, diagnosis, treatment and prevention are a matter of great public health
importance. Perhaps nowhere is the interest higher than in South Asia. This is a region estimated to
bear 44% of the global melioidosis burden, yet awareness of the disease and its bacterial cause remains
very low. There is therefore an urgent and continuing need to bring together subject matter experts,
clinicians, academicians, health care workers, and students to disseminate knowledge, to educate, and
to put into clinical practice our evolving knowledge of melioidosis and its bacterial cause B. pseudomallei.
The specific aim of this application is to secure funds for travel, accommodation and registration to
enable at least 10-12 individuals – mostly trainee level clinical researchers, postdoctoral researchers,
and students - to attend the 2nd South Asian Melioidosis Conference (SAMC2017) that will be held in
Colombo, Sri Lanka, from August 29-30, 2017. The main objectives of SAMC2017 are to bring together
75-100 subject matter experts, clinicians, academicians, students, and health care workers to: 1)
communicate and discuss new findings from academic laboratories and clinical settings; 2) discuss
strategies to put into clinical practice proper diagnostics and therapeutics to control and prevent
melioidosis; and 3) aim to sustain such efforts beyond the conference by developing and/or maintaining
strong collaborations and ways to readily disseminate information in South Asia and beyond. The
lessons learned from the 1st South Asian Melioidosis Conference that was held in 2015 in Manipal, India,
clearly showed that the current needs in South Asia are special and that they cannot be met by any of
the other regularly scheduled melioidosis meetings.
