05/11/06 MOLECULAR EPIDEMIOLOGY AND EVOLUTIONARY GENETICS OF INFECTIOUS DISEASES (MEEGID).
8th session Bangkok, Thailand, 30th November-2nd Decembe Still time to register ! Some slots still available for oral presentations and posters. Deadline prolongated
until 20th November. Infectious diseases are a key model for evolutionists. It is considered that they have been the main selective pressure on the human species for the last 5,000 years.
Our genome has been literally scupted by this selection process. Coevolution between host, pathogen and vector in the case of vector-borne diseases is one of the main scopes of the MEEGID congress. This is the reason why, besides its high interest for applied biomedical research (epidemiology, vaccine and drug design), the MEEGID congress has become a major event for evolutionists.
The only congress where you will hear of host, bacteria, viruses, parasites, fungi, all species of vectors. Of diseases of medical, veterinary, agronomic relevance. Of genetics, genomics, proteomics, population dynamics, evolution and bioinformatics. Where you will meet specialists of all these fields
