Conférence « Global Dengue : challenges and promises »

Date début : 21/10/2013

Date fin : 23/10/2013

Lieu : Bangkok, The Imperial Queen’s Park Hotel

Description :

Le Ministère de la Santé Publique Thaïlandais organise la troisième conférence internationale sur la Dengue et la Fièvre Hémorragique de la Dengue. Cette conférence aura lieu du 21 au 23 octobre 2013 à l’Hôtel Imperial Queen’s Park de Bangkok. Le thème de la conférence est « Dengue mondiale : Challenges et promesses ».

Fort de la réussite des précédentes conférences tenues à Chiang Mai (2001) et Phuket (2008), cette conférence internationale rassemblera des cliniciens, des chercheurs et des experts autour de l’enjeu commun et global de la dengue. Elle permettra aux participants de la conférence d’échanger sur leurs derniers résultats, leurs expériences cliniques, les défis rencontrés et les solutions apportées dans le traitement de la dengue et la lutte anti-vectorielle.

Le but de cette conférence est d’encourager la collaboration inter-disciplinaire entre les participants d’horizons différents et, plus généralement, d’améliorer la santé des populations vulnérables touchées par la dengue, un véritable enjeu de santé publique.

3^rd Announcement

18^th E-SOVE Conference, Montpellier, France

October 8th-11th, 2012

> www.esove2012.eu

The 18^th E-SOVE Conference event will take place in Montpellier, France, from 8^th to 11^th October 2012, and will be hosted by ‘Vector and emerging diseases Montpellier network’ (VME) which gathers researchers from CIRAD, EID Méditerranée, IRD, Montpellier Universities, CNRS, and INRA working on nuisance and vector arthropods.

Abstract submission for the 18^th E-SOVE Conference is now open. The deadline for submission is the 30^th June 2012. On-line registration is also available.

You can benefit from the early-bird registration fees until 15 ^th July 2012.

Please visit  the following website at www.esove2012.eu for details and participation process.

The 18^th E-SOVE Conference will focus on: "From biology to integrated control in a changing world".

• Vector status: taxonomy, systemic, phylogeny
• Vector behaviour: life-history traits, fitness, intra- and inter-species competition, biology of populations, invasive species
• Vector-pathogen interactions: vector competence, immunity of vector, vector manipulation by parasites
• Eco-epidemiology of vector borne diseases: spatiotemporal dynamics of the transmission, geomatics, modelling
• Vector control: biocides, repellents, traps, integrated vector management, personal protection, human and social sciences, SIT, irradiation, Wolbachia, genetic control
• Impacts of the vector control: ecotoxicity in the food chain, politic and societal perceptions.

Keynote speakers:

• Luke Alphey, Oxitec, Oxford - UK - “Genetic control of vector insects”
• Agustin Estrada-Pena, University of Zaragoza, Zaragoza - Spain - “Partners and contenders: ticks, hosts, pathogens, and environment"
• Helene Guis, Cirad, Montpellier, France - “Assessing the impacts of climate change on vector-borne diseases : what are the challenges and knowledge gaps we need to overcome?”
• Petr Volf, Charles University, Prague - Czech Republic - “Leishmania-sand fly interaction: from the field to the lab and vice versa”.

Montpellier, is rich with remarkable heritage, is located in Southern France on hilly ground 10 kilometres (6 mi) inland from the Mediterranean Sea coast. The historical city centre, named l'Ecusson, provides a unique and intimate feeling. We just hope that you will grab this opportunity to enjoy a memorable dinner in one of the numerous restaurants.

Your participation to the conference would greatly contribute to the success of this unique event, and we look forward to meeting you in Montpellier.

Warmest regards,

Montpellier network on Vectors and Emerging Diseases (VME),

Local organisation committee

and Pr. Bulent Alten, President of E-SOVE

No less than 160 attendees have registered. We trust it will be a great event.

Some recalls:

(i) We are planning to design a special issue of Infection, Genetics and Evolution (Elsevier; http://www.elsevier.com/locate/meegid) dealing witht the topic of this workshop. People who would like to submit a paper in the framework of this special issue are welcome to. Articles submitted will be processed the same way than articles for nonspecial issues, that is to say: reviewing by two anonymous, independent referees. Deadline for submission is 31st July.

2^ndAnnouncement

18^th E-SOVE Conference

Montpellier, France

October 8th-11th, 2012

> www.esove2012.eu

On behalf of the Vector and emerging diseases Montpellier network, the E-SOVE 2012 local organisation committee and Pr. Bulent Alten, President of the E-SOVE, we have the great honour and pleasure to invite you to attend the 18^th E-SOVE Conference Montpellier 2012 to present your most recent research achievements and ideas, and share our knowledge in vector ecology and vector-borne diseases and control methods. This event will take place in Montpellier, France, from 8^th to 11^th October 2012, and will be hosted by Vector and emerging diseases Montpellier network (VME) which gathers researchers from CIRAD, EID Méditerranean IRD, Montpellier Universities, CNRS, and INRA working on nuisance and vector arthropods.

The 18^th E-SOVE Conference will focus on: "From biology to integrated control in a changing world". The programme drawn up by the scientific committee contains six sessions that explore the main topics such as vector status (taxonomy, systemic, phylogeny), vector behaviour (life-history traits, fitness, intra- and inter-species competition, biology of populations, invasive species), vector-pathogen interactions (vector competence, immunity of vector, vector manipulation by parasites), eco-epidemiology of vector borne diseases (spatiotemporal dynamics of the transmission, geomatics, modelling), vector control (biocides, repellents, traps, integrated vector management, personal protection, human and social sciences, SIT, irradiation, Wolbachia, genetic control) and impacts of the vector control (ecotoxicity in the food chain, politic and societal perceptions).

Our aim is to attract worldwide specialists, researchers, scientists, technical experts, engineers and students. The 18^th E-SOVE Conference programme includes plenary and keynote presentations by leading international scientists who will address highly relevant issues in vector ecology and vector-borne diseases.

If you share these values, join us! Please visit  the following website at http://www.esove2012.eu/ for details and participation process.

The conference venue takes place in Montpellier in Southern France, at the Corum (Palais des Congrès). The city, rich with remarkable heritage, is located on hilly ground 10 kilometres (6 mi) inland from the Mediterranean Sea coast.
