VALENCIA, SPAIN AFTER THE SUCCESSFUL LAUNCH OF INFECTION, GENETICS AND EVOLUTION (ELSEVIER), NOW COVERED BY MEDLINE Objectives of The Meeting:
First, to integrate epidemiology, molecular biology, genomics, proteomics, bioinformatics and population biology in areas of diagnosis, strain typing, species identification, pathogenesis, antigenic variation, drug and vaccine resistance, host (animal and human) susceptibility, and vector specificity. Second, to foster interactions between epidemiologists, clinicians, field and laboratory scientists working on hosts, parasites, yeast and fungi, bacteria, viruses, and vectors. Third, to provide health care providers, public health professionals, policy makers, epidemiologists and laboratory scientists, and program managers an opportunity to discuss the use of the genetic tools and methodologies that are needed to meet the challenges of diagnosis and management of emerging, re-emerging, and endemic infectious diseases. th
