DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Melioidosis is a disease prevalent to tropical and subtropical regions of the world, with Northern Australia and SE Asia being highly endemic. The last decade saw a surge in melioidosis research largely because the etiologic agent Burkholderia pseudomallei is considered an emerging pathogen in many tropical and subtropical regions of the world and also listed as a Select Agent of biodefense importance. Current indications are that this increase in interest will be self-sustaining and continue over time. Despite the surge in research the World Melioidosis Conference (WMC) is at the moment the only regularly scheduled melioidosis conference anywhere in the world. The specific aim of this application is to secure funds for travel, accommodation and registration to enable at least 10-12 researchers - mostly trainees, young investigators and underrepresented minorities or scientists from underdeveloped regions of the world - to attend the 6th WMC (also known as WMC2010) that will be held in Townsville, Queensland, Australia, from November 30 to December 3, 2010. The main objectives of WMC2010 will be to bring together 250-300 scientists, physicians, postdoctoral research associates and students to discuss new findings from research academic laboratories, to focus on ways in which this can be translated into real-world settings, and to facilitate the development of strong collaborations between groups in the United States and Europe where much of the fundamental research is conducted, and the Asian-Pacific region and other areas where melioidosis is endemic. The opportunity to establish collaborations and engage scientists/institutions from developing countries that are committed to the testing of novel ideas and reagents to control and prevent melioidosis is both important and essential. The key themes of the congress include epidemiology, the environment and melioidosis, clinical and laboratory diagnostics, immunology and vaccine development, biodefense, and therapeutics. Project Narrative: Melioidosis is a rare but serious emerging disease of biodefense significance. Funds are requested to facilitate researcher - mostly trainee, young investigators, and underrepresented minorities or developing world scientists - attendance of the World Melioidosis Conference 2010 in Townsville, Australia. This conference will facilitate the development of strong collaborations between groups in the United States and Europe where much of the fundamental research is conducted, and the Asian-Pacific region and other areas where melioidosis is endemic.

描述（由申请人提供）： Melioidosis是世界上热带和亚热带地区普遍存在的疾病，北澳大利亚和SE亚洲是高度流行的。在过去的十年中，黑梅利病毒研究激增很大程度上是因为病因学剂Burkholderia pseudomallei被认为是世界上许多热带和亚热带地区的新兴病原体，也被列为生物浮雕重要性的精选药物。当前的迹象表明，这种兴趣的增加将是自我维持的，并且会随着时间的流逝而持续。尽管研究激增，但世界上梅里尼罗病变会议（WMC）目前是世界上唯一定期安排的Melioidosis会议。该应用程序的具体目的是确保用于旅行，住宿和注册资金，以使至少10-12名研究人员（主要是来自世界欠发达地区的学员，年轻的调查员和代表性不足的少数群体或科学家）能够参加第六WMC（也称为WMC2010），这些WMC（也称为WMC2010）将在澳大利亚汤斯维尔（Townsville）举行，澳大利亚昆士兰州（Queensland），澳大利亚昆士兰州（Queensland），澳大利亚（Queensland），澳大利亚（Queenland），澳大利亚昆士兰（Queensland），10月30日，11月30日。将250-300名科学家，医师，博士后研究伙伴和学生汇集在一起​​，讨论研究学术实验室的新发现，重点关注可以将其转化为现实世界中的方式，并促进美国和欧洲之间在美国和欧洲之间进行强大的集体研究的强大合作，以及基本研究的大部分地区以及其他地区的群体和其他地区，以及其他地区的群体和其他地区。建立合作并吸引发展中国家的科学家/机构的机会，他们致力于测试新思想和试剂以控制和预防黑麦片症是重要的。国会的关键主题包括流行病学，环境和黑胶病，临床和实验室诊断，免疫学和疫苗开发，生物粘剂和治疗学。 项目叙述： Melioidosis是一种罕见但严重的生物化意义疾病。要求资金促进研究人员 - 主要是实习生，年轻调查员和代表性不足的少数群体或发展中国家科学家 - 在澳大利亚汤斯维尔举行的2010年世界梅里干酪症会议的出席率。这次会议将促进进行大部分基础研究的美国和欧洲群体之间的强大合作，以及亚洲太平洋地区以及Melioidisoise是地方性的其他地区。
