Infectious disease are still a major cause of morbidity an mortality worldwide. Successful treatment and prevention are still hampere by insufficient understanding of the subtle interactions that govern the infectious processes. Evasion of the natural or vaccine-induced immune response is often at the basis of the onset and escalation of disease and can also result in the persistence of the pathogen in chronic infections. This EuroSciCon meeting will be a premier forum for the presentation of cutting-edge research on key mechanisms used by different classes of pathogens to evade host innate and acquired immunity. The meeting will contribute to steer the course of future research into more rational measures to prevent disease in humans and animals. Meeting Chair: Dr Pietro Mastroeni, Cambri...

90% of Westerners die of aging. Is a ‘cure’ just around the corner? Aubrey de Grey claims regenerative medicine for aging is coming, and it promises to bring aging under the same degree of medical control that we have today for most infectious diseases. Within just a few decades we may be able to prevent all those deaths – and the ill-health and suffering that precedes them.

Vector borne diseases have long been recognized to be climate driven, but it is now clear that many infectious diseases are intricately related to weather patterns, climate, and seasonality. Epidemics of cholera, a devastating disease occurring predominantly in third world countries, has been shown to be directly correlated with environmental parameters including sea surface temperature, sea surface height, and salinity, among others. Recent studies incorporating satellite sensing technology, ground truth measurements, microbiology, and genome sequence analyses, have provided the basis for predictive modeling of cholera epidemics in Bangladesh, India, and East Africa. These findings will be discussed as a paradigm for global infectious diseases in this century, but also as the story of a w...

The continued emergence of antibacterial resistant strains of bacteria is placing an increasingly heavy burden on the world’s health services and is having a dramatic effect on global health. There is a real need to develop new antimicrobials to combat this increasing threat; however as highlighted by the recent ECDC/EMEA Technical Report – The bacterial challenge: time to react – “Industry’s pipeline contains very few new antibiotics active against multidrug-resistant bacteria. Without stimulating research and development into new antibiotics, an increasing number of infected patients will be without effective treatment".

The Royal Society Rosalind Franklin Prize Lecture 2009 Professor Sunetra Gupta University of Oxford One of the biggest challenges faced by pathogens in their bid for survival is the host immune response. Within an infected individual, pathogen populations face direct attack by the different processes of the immune system; at a community level, immunity affects pathogen fitness by reducing the pool of susceptible persons. Professor Gupta will discuss how pathogens have evolved under this form of natural selection and found solutions that allow them to persist within individuals and within communities using examples from malaria, bacterial meningitis and influenza.

"As a Board, we are all agreed that the goal for MRSA must be to eliminate all preventable MRSA bloodstream infections in the NHS. However, we don't yet have enough evidence to show what proportion of infections is genuinely not preventable. In other words, we don't know the 'clinical irreducible minimum' for MRSA bacteraemias. Numbers of MRSA infections in England are still going down and some trusts have achieved much lower rates than other, similar trusts, so we are confident that we are not yet at that level and that there are further gains to be made. We therefore want to set a challenging and realistic Objective which will continue to drive down MRSA bacteraemia. We are looking for a measure that can be applied equally to different trusts and equally to different PCTs across the NHS...

Interactions between pathogens and their hosts are an intricate web of measures and countermeasures, the study of which has uncovered basic mechanisms of how cells operate. My laboratory has been interested in how herpesviruses disable pathways of antigen presentation, an effort that has shed light on mechanisms of glycoprotein quality control and turnover. Our studies rely on protein modification to visualize cells and proteins within them, and to control their functional properties. This can be done genetically through fusions with fluorescent reporter proteins. Alternatively, installation of tags that can be detected with antibodies or upon chemoenzymatic conversion with colored or fluorescent reporters allows visualization of the proteins of interest. I shall describe sortagging, a ne...
