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.

描述（由申请人提供）：2011年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。这次会议将汇集基础科学家、医生、兽医、诊断专家、流行病学家、政策制定者和其他从事这一重要人畜共患病工作的人。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）疫苗的创新。在这些专题领域工作的十位国际公认的调查人员应邀担任主旨发言人或主持会议的圆桌讨论。还将向与会者征求解决这些主题的简短口头和海报介绍。本申请要求旅行奖励，以鼓励学生，博士后研究员和年轻的独立研究人员在2011年布鲁氏菌病国际研究会议上进行口头或海报演讲。 公共卫生相关性：布鲁氏菌病是世界范围内最主要的人畜共患传染病。羊种布氏杆菌，B。suis和B.流产菌株作为生物恐怖主义或生物战的潜在制剂也令人严重关切。本申请中描述的会议是传播最新信息的主要论坛，可用于提高我们预防和治疗人类和动物布鲁氏菌病的能力。
