2nd Summer Institute in Statistics and Modeling in Infectious Diseases
The Institute consists of a series of two-and-a-half day workshops designed to introduce infectious disease researchers to modern methods of statistical analysis and mathematical modeling and to introduce statisticians and mathematical modelers to the statistical and dynamic problems posed by modern infectious disease data. Prerequisites are minimal, and the modular nature of the Institute enables participants to design a program best suited to their backgrounds and interests. Most participants will likely take two or three modules.
14th International Congress on Infectious Diseases (ICID)
Whether you are a clinician, researcher, educator, public health official or practitioner of any of the disciplines that contribute to the care of patients with infectious diseases, please mark your calendars and make plans to join thousands of your colleagues from approximately 100 different countries in Miami at the Congress.
Wolbachia Conference 2010
This conference was founded to share research results about Wolbachia, a common facultative bacterial symbiont of arthropods that manipulates reproduction and a mutualist partner of filarial nematodes that cause debilitating human disease. As the field has matured and broadened, so have the topics presented.

Elsevier Student Book Award
A Student Book Award is issued at the annual meeting by the ASTMH Clinical Group (American Committee on Clinical Tropical Medicine and Travelers’ Health – ACCTMTH) in conjunction with Elsevier. This award recognizes excellence in clinically oriented research presented by a student at the annual meeting. Submit your abstract online and complete the online application form at www.astmh.org by June 3.
Basic Science Pre-Meeting Course Recent Advances in the Biology of Invertebrate Vectors and Implications for the Control of Tropical Diseases
This one-day course targets scientists, physicians, clinicians, graduate students and educators who wish to gain a better understanding of the biology of invertebrate vectors and their key role in the transmission of parasites, viruses and helminths that are responsible for significant morbidity and mortality, most especially in resource-constrained areas of the world. Topics will include an overview of the major vector-borne diseases and current control measures, as well as those in development targeting the vector. Presentations will consider the molecular, cellular, neurobiological and immunological advances that enhance our knowledge of vector biology, physiology, behavior and vector – pathogen and vector – host interactions, as well as for discovery of new approaches to disease control.

Gordon Conference: Biology of Host-Parasite Interactions
The 2010 GRC conference on Biology of Host-Parasite Interactions will present the latest findings on the biology of protozoan parasites and their vectors, with special emphasis on human and animal diseases such as malaria, toxoplasmosis, African and American trypanosomiasis, leishmaniasis, trichomoniasis, giardiasis and entamoebiasis. The Conference will feature a wide range of topics, such as invasion and egress, systems biology, transmission, genetic and phenotypic variation, cell cycle, immune responses and novel intervention strategies.

ISID-Neglected Tropical Disease Meeting
Over 1 billion of the world’s poorest people suffer from one or more NTDs that profoundly affect their lives. These diseases are termed "neglected" because, in spite of the great suffering they cause, only limited resources have been available to prevent and treat them even though some of the most common NTDs can be treated effectively at very low cost. Awareness about the problem of NTDs has grown over recent years. Governments, foundations and nonprofit organizations are increasingly taking notice and taking action. ISID aims to bring this community of providers and investigators together by organizing the first ISID-NTD meeting to encourage cross-discipline sharing of information related to combating NTDs as well as provide an opportunity to raise public awareness of the importance of NTDs around the world.
