Colloquim on Health, Climate, and Infectious Disease: A Global Perspective; Tucson, Arizona; October 15-17, 1999

美国微生物学会题目：健康、气候和传染病：全球视角这是授予美国微生物学会（AAM）的一个奖项，以召集一个题为“健康、气候和传染病：全球视角”的学术讨论会。一个由从事气候变化、传染病和健康研究的杰出科学家组成的多学科小组将聚集在一起，更好地了解气候因素如何影响传染病的传播。这对改进疾病预防工作至关重要，因为这种知识将提高预测季节性天气变化和厄尔尼诺等大规模扰动对健康影响的能力。AAM将编写一份报告，并向科学界、联邦和国际机构、决策者、新闻界和公众传播对问题的深入分析和对未来行动计划的建议。这项工作很重要，因为它将加强几个学科之间的桥梁，并作为气候动力学基础研究的端到端应用的一个例子。

AbstractATM-9907712Huq, AnwarulAmerican Society for MicrobiologyTitle: Health, Climate and Infectious Disease: A Global PerspectiveThis is an award to the American Academy of Microbiology (AAM) to convene a colloquium, entitled 'Health, Climate and Infectious Disease: A Global Perspective'. A multidisciplinary panel of distinguished scientists working on climate variability, infectious disease and health will come together to accomplish a better understanding of how climatic factors affect the spread of infectious disease. This is critical to improve disease prevention efforts because such knowledge would enhance the ability to predict the health-related effects of both seasonal weather changes and large-scale disturbances such as El Nino. The AAM will develop a report and disseminate the in-depth analysis of the issues and recommendations for future plan of action, to the scientific community, to federal and international agencies, to policy makers, to the press and to the public. The work is important because it will enhance bridges between several disciplines, and serve as an example of an end-to-end application of the basic research undertaken in Climate Dynamics.
