The 2nd International Congress on Pathogens at the Human Animal Interface (ICOPHA

描述（由申请人提供）：尽管公共卫生和临床医学取得了重大进展，但传染病仍然是工业化国家和发展中国家的严重威胁。通过食物、水和动物源传播的疾病是全世界的主要问题，特别是在南美洲和撒哈拉以南非洲等发展中地区造成了重大的疾病负担。今天，地球仪上超过三分之二的新发传染病是人畜共患病。缺乏技术能力以及从事不同学科工作的技术专家、研究人员和官员之间缺乏互动，是预防和控制此类疾病传播的主要限制因素。考虑到这些挑战，并在2011年成功举行的首届会议的基础上，我们正在组织“第二届人畜界面病原体国际大会（ICOPHAI）：一个健康促进可持续发展”，该大会将于2013年8月14日至17日在巴西波尔图德加利尼亚斯港举行。本次大会的目标是促进发展中国家和工业化国家的科学家就人类、动物和生态系统相互作用的疾病的优先专题领域以及这些疾病的社会和经济影响进行互动。此外，2013年国际保健和卫生大会将为与会者提供独特的机会，就传染病的关键优先领域交流知识和经验。会议将重点讨论选定的主题优先领域，包括一个卫生元领导，病媒传播的人畜共患病及其对公共卫生的影响，新出现的传染病以及野生动物、食源性和水媒疾病的作用。我们聘请了国际知名的主旨演讲人和全体演讲人，以解决每个优先主题领域。此外，我们预计将有大约80个口头介绍和200个海报介绍，主要来自发展中国家和工业化国家的学生和博士后研究人员。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Despite significant advances in public health and clinical medicine, infectious diseases continue to be a serious threat in both industrialized and developing countries. Diseases transmitted by food, water and of animal origin are major concerns worldwide and especially impose a significant disease burden in developing regions such as South America and Sub-Saharan Africa. More than two-thirds of emerging infectious diseases around the globe today are zoonotic. The lack of technical capacity and lack of interaction between technical experts, researchers and officials who work in different scientific disciplines are major limiting factors for the prevention and control of spread of such diseases. With these challenges in mind and building on to a successful inaugural conference held in 2011, we are organizing the "2nd International Congress on Pathogens at the Human-Animal Interface (ICOPHAI): One Health for Sustainable Development" which will take place in Porto de Galinhas, Brazil, August 14-17, 2013. The goal of this congress is to stimulate interactions between scientists from developing and industrialized countries on priority thematic areas of diseases at the human, animal and ecosystem interface, as well as the social and economic impacts of these diseases. Furthermore, ICOPHAI 2013 will provide unique opportunities for participants to exchange knowledge and experiences on the key priority areas of infectious diseases. The conference will focus on selected thematic priority areas including one health meta-leadership, vector-borne zoonoses and impact on public health, emerging infectious diseases and the role of wildlife, foodborne and waterborne diseases. We have recruited internationally renowned keynote and plenary speakers to address each of the priority thematic areas. In addition, we anticipate that about 80 oral and 200 poster presentations, mostly from students and post-doctoral researchers from developing and industrialized countries, will be presented.
