DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): 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 and immunology into experimental elucidation of host-pathogen interactions. The Sixth meeting of the International Leptospirosis Society will take place in Cochin, India September 21-24, 2009. 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 the following: 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 Principal Investigators of leptospirosis-related NIH grants. Trainees will compete by submitting a research abstract requesting funding to support travel and attendance at the meeting. Abstracts will be selected for support by a committee appointed by the ILS president and the PI of this R13 grant. Selection factors will be primarily based on the quality of the submitted abstract, along with geographic, gender, underrepresented minority and socioeconomic diversity. Outcome of the meeting will be assessed by peer-reviewed publication by participants, particularly trainees, demonstrated enhancement of international collaborative efforts including new grant support, and trainee career advancement.

描述(申请人提供)：钩端螺旋体病在发展中国家和发达国家都已成为一种全球重要的传染病威胁。近年来，该领域取得了迅速的进展，公布了四个完整的钩端螺旋体基因组序列，发表了基于微阵列和蛋白质组的研究，并将现代遗传学和免疫学整合到宿主与病原体相互作用的实验阐明中。国际钩端螺旋体病学会第六届会议将于2009年9月21-24日在印度科钦举行。会议的目的是介绍钩端螺旋体和钩端螺旋体病的多学科和不同方面，以便将实验室的进展转化为更好的预防和治疗方法。讨论的主题包括：钩端螺旋体病的全球流行病学和疾病负担，钩端螺旋体基因组学和蛋白质组学，分子和细胞发病机制，宿主反应和保护性免疫的机制，以及疫苗开发。参与者将包括该领域的国际专家，以及来自美国、亚洲、澳大利亚、欧洲和非洲的博士后和研究生实习生。主旨演讲者将包括该领域的老牌和新任调查人员。申请的资金将用于支持实习生的旅行和住宿。将通过美国和国际组织征集受训人员摘要，并将努力针对受训人员，最近发表的论文的资深作者和第一作者以及与钩端螺旋体病相关的NIH赠款的主要研究人员。受训者将通过提交一份研究摘要来竞争，要求提供资金以支持会议的旅行和出席。摘要将由ILS主席和这项R13拨款的PI指定的委员会选出，以供支持。遴选因素将主要基于提交摘要的质量，以及地域、性别、代表性不足的少数群体和社会经济多样性。会议的结果将通过同行评议的出版物进行评估，由与会者，特别是学员发表，说明加强了国际合作努力，包括新的赠款支助和学员的职业发展。
