DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The Brucellosis 2011 International Research Conference will be held at the Catholic University of Argentina in Buenos Aires on September 21-23, 2011. This meeting will bring together basic scientists, physicians, veterinarians, diagnosticians, epidemiologists, policy makers and others who work with this important zoonotic disease. Topics that will be covered during this meeting include: a) taxonomy, genomics, proteomics and evolution; b) pathogenesis and host-pathogen interactions; c) human brucellosis; d) epidemiology, control and eradication of brucellosis in animals; e) immunology; f) innovations in diagnostic procedures; and g) innovations in vaccines. Ten internationally-recognized investigators who work in these topic areas have been invited to serve as keynote speakers or to chair roundtable discussions at the meeting. Short oral and poster presentations that address these topics will also be solicited from the conference attendees. This application requests travel awards to encourage students, postdoctoral fellows and young independent investigators to make oral or poster presentations at the Brucellosis 2011 International Research Conference. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: Brucellosis is the leading zoonotic infection worldwide. Brucella melitensis, B. suis and B. abortus strains are also of significant concern as potential agents of bioterrorism or biowarfare. The meeting described in this application serves as the leading forum for the dissemination of up-to-date information that can be used to improve our ability to prevent and treat brucellosis in humans and animals.

2011布鲁氏菌病国际研究会议将于2011年9月21日至23日在布宜诺斯艾利斯的阿根廷天主教大学举行。本次会议将汇集基础科学家、医生、兽医、诊断学家、流行病学家、决策者和处理这一重要人畜共患疾病的其他人员。本次会议将讨论的主题包括：a)分类学、基因组学、蛋白质组学和进化；B)发病机制和宿主-病原体相互作用；C)人类布鲁氏菌病；D)动物布鲁氏菌病的流行病学、控制和根除；e)免疫学;F)诊断程序的创新；g)疫苗创新。会议邀请了10位在这些领域工作的国际公认的研究人员担任主题演讲或主持圆桌讨论。针对这些主题的简短口头报告和海报报告也将征求与会者的意见。该申请要求获得旅行奖，以鼓励学生、博士后研究员和年轻的独立研究者在2011年布鲁氏菌病国际研究会议上做口头或海报报告。
