12th International Workshop on KSHV and Related Agents

描述（由申请人提供）：该会议自1998年以来每年举行一次，是介绍和交流KSHV和相关制剂进展的主要论坛。特别强调的一直是对未发表的新数据的介绍和讨论，目的是促进新的研究成果，想法和发展的传播和交流的国际科学家代表基础，转化和临床研究谁涵盖了广泛的学科，并侧重于KSHV和相关代理。这些研究的长期目标是加强我们对KSHV和相关因子如何促进发病机制的理解，并将来自不同研究领域的新知识整合到新的治疗、预防和疫苗接种策略的鉴定和开发中，以减轻KSHV相关疾病。 公共卫生相关性：该项目为自1998年以来每年举行的一次会议提供部分资金，该会议是介绍和交流KSHV和相关制剂进展的主要论坛。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This meeting, which has been held annually since 1998, is the premier forum for the presentation and exchange of advances in KSHV and related agents. Special emphasis has always been on the presentation and discussion of unpublished new data with the goal to facilitate the dissemination and exchange of new research findings, ideas, and developments among an international group of scientists representing basic, translational, and clinical research who cover a broad spectrum of disciplines and focus on KSHV and related agents. The long-term goal of these studies is to enhance our understanding on how KSHV and related agents contribute to pathogenesis and to integrate this new knowledge from different research fields into the identification and development of new treatment, prevention, and vaccination strategies to alleviate KSHV- associated diseases. Public Health Relevance: This project provides partial funding for a meeting, which has been held annually since 1998, that is the premier forum for the presentation and exchange of advances in KSHV and related agents.
