International Conference on Trichinellosis

描述（由申请人提供）：旋毛虫病国际会议的目的是将旋毛虫病领域的专家聚集在一起，以促进对寄生虫和疾病的理解。下一次会议将是第11次会议（ICT-11），将于2004年8月8日至12日在加州圣地亚哥举行。这次会议的主题范围很广，严格限于旋毛虫。会议将重点介绍基因组学、分子生物学和免疫方面的最新研究成果，以及关于世界不同地区人类和动物种群中感染和疾病出现和重新出现的新数据。信息通信技术-11为医生、兽医、诊断学家和实验室研究人员提供了一个及时和独特的机会，在讨论寄生虫和该病的所有方面时贡献他们的观点。会议的小规模和重点将有助于发起和继续旋毛虫病研究人员之间的众多研究合作。对于学员来说，这次会议是一个特别宝贵的机会，可以在他们的专业之外进行冒险，使他们能够更好地了解旋毛虫和旋毛虫病在生态和医学方面的情况。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The objective of the International Conference on Trichinellosis is to bring together experts in the field of trichinellosis for the purpose of advancing understanding of parasitism and disease. The next meeting will be the eleventh (ICT-11) and will take place on August 8-12, 2004 in San Diego, California. The conference has a broad scope within a topic that is strictly limited to Trichinella. The conference will highlight recent research findings in genomics, molecular biology and immunity as well as new data on the emergence and reemergence of infection and disease in human and animal populations in different parts of the world. ICT-11 affords a timely and unique opportunity for physicians, veterinarians, diagnosticians and laboratory researchers to contribute their perspectives in discussions of all aspects of the parasite and the disease. The small size and focus of the meeting will facilitate initiation and continuation of research collaborations which are numerous among researchers in trichinellosis. The conference is an especially valuable opportunity for trainees to venture outside of their specialties, allowing them to gain a better understanding of Trichinella and trichinellosis in ecological and medical contexts. The changing global prevalence of Trichinella infection in people and animals, the identification of new Trichinella species, the availability of new genetic information and substantive progress in elucidation of immune mechanisms makes this a highly opportune time to convene researchers and public health experts with shared interests in trichinellosis.
