DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The viruses that (since 1996) constitute the taxonomic order Nidovirales (Arteriviruses, Coronaviruses, Toroviruses and Roniviruses) cause significant disease in humans, simians, a large number of livestock species, poultry, shrimp, insects and whales. Human coronaviruses are the second leading cause of the human cold, accounting for acute economic costs, and the recent discovery of a previously unknown coronavirus that is now associated with Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS), a newly emerged infectious disease in humans, underpins the importance of scientific research in this field. In addition, in the late 1980's, porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV), the newest member of arteriviruses family emerged in Europe and North America simultaneously and is now endemic worldwide. The emergence of these new viruses have changed the focus of nidovirus research and enticed many new investigators into this field of study. The International Nidovirus Symposium, a triennial meeting, is unique in bringing together scientists engaged in various aspects of nidoviruses study including molecular biology, pathogenesis, immunology, evolution and epidemiology and vaccine development. For newcomers to this field, the symposium is an excellent opportunity to obtain an overview of the most recent developments, and to discuss ideas with experts in particular areas of nidovirology. Several graduate student and th postdoctoral travel awards will be given to encourage young scientists to attend this XII International Nidovirus Symposium. In addition, invited guest speakers will discuss other important research areas so that participants could update their knowledge bank and learn of new advances brought about in the larger universe of viruses. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: The XII International Nidovirus Symposium is a high quality scientific meeting that provides a venue for virologists who are working on important group of positive stranded RNA viruses that pose a significant threat to the public health to share their research findings with other scientists from around the world. The primary objective of this symposium parallels the scientific mission of the NIH. This symposium is unique in bringing scientists together who study different aspects of nidoviruses, such as molecular biology, pathogenesis, evolution and epidemiology, immunology and vaccine development. The cost of the symposium will be covered by the registration fees and donations from private industry. However, under current economic conditions obtaining donations from industry will be difficult, and therefore, as th organizers of the XII International Symposium, we are requesting support through this conference grant application. 1

描述(申请人提供)：(自1996年以来)构成NidoVirales分类目(动脉病毒、冠状病毒、环状病毒和流行性出血热病毒)的病毒会在人类、猿类、大量牲畜物种、家禽、虾、昆虫和鲸鱼中引起重大疾病。人类冠状病毒是人类感冒的第二大原因，造成了严重的经济损失，最近发现了一种以前未知的冠状病毒，现在与严重急性呼吸综合征(SARS)有关，这是一种新出现的人类传染病，加强了这一领域科学研究的重要性。此外，上世纪80年代末，猪繁殖与呼吸综合征病毒(PRRSV)--猪繁殖与呼吸综合征病毒(PRRSV)--动脉病毒家族的最新成员，于20世纪80年代末在欧洲和北美同时出现，现已在全球流行。这些新病毒的出现改变了网络病毒研究的重点，吸引了许多新的研究人员进入这一领域。每三年举行一次的国际非典型肺炎病毒研讨会将从事非典型肺炎病毒研究各个方面的科学家汇聚一堂，包括分子生物学、发病机制、免疫学、进化和流行病学以及疫苗开发。对于这一领域的新手来说，研讨会是一个很好的机会，可以了解最新的发展情况，并与特定领域的专家讨论想法。将颁发几个研究生和博士后旅行奖，以鼓励青年科学家参加这次第12届国际NIDV研讨会。此外，特邀演讲嘉宾将讨论其他重要的研究领域，以便与会者更新他们的知识库，了解更大的病毒宇宙中带来的新进展。 与公共卫生相关：第十二届国际网络病毒研讨会是一次高质量的科学会议，为从事对公共健康构成重大威胁的重要阳性绞股RNA病毒组工作的病毒学家提供了一个与来自世界各地的其他科学家分享他们的研究成果的场所。这次研讨会的主要目标与美国国立卫生研究院的科学使命相一致。这次研讨会的独特之处在于，将研究NIDOV不同方面的科学家聚集在一起，如分子生物学、发病机制、进化和流行病学、免疫学和疫苗开发。研讨会的费用将由注册费和私营企业的捐款支付。然而，在目前的经济条件下，从产业界获得捐款将是困难的，因此，作为第十二届国际研讨会的组织者，我们通过这次会议赠款申请寻求支持。1
