When:
7 – 10 June, 2022

Where:
Minor Groove, Umeå University

What:
The aim of this NDPIA course is to provide an in depth understanding of pathogen-vector interaction and transmission dynamics of mosquito-borne pathogen. It will provide better understanding of mosquitoes as vectors of arboviruses and parasites most of which are zoonotic in nature and affect both humans and animals. The course will include various aspects of the mosquito vector including; ecology, biology, population genetics, competence, capacity and how these factors influence transmission to the susceptible host. The course will also cover vector surveillance, identification, diagnostics, prevention and control, as well as application of high-throughput sequencing platforms in virus discovery.

Suggested ECTS:
1.5 ECTS. This must be discussed with your University. You will receive a certificate stating the suggested ECTS, your attendance and the workload.

UCMR Distinguished Guests Seminar Series (DGSS) aim to invite outstanding international scientists to present their excellent work. The seminars are open to all researchers in Sweden. The mission of this programme is to inspire researchers in Umeå and to connect the research environment of UCMR to the world.

More information about the seminar series

Launched in 2004, this FASEB Science Research Conference (SRC) covers the rapidly growing area of microbial glycobiology, from microbial degradation of complex glycans to host-microbe interactions and viral glycobiology.

The conference brings together individuals with an interest in the role of glycans in microbial biology. It is the only international meeting on this topic and provides the ideal environment to exchange ideas and learn about new advances in the field. The meeting is structured to encourage engagement between those from a broad spectrum of experience and background.

This five-day intensive course for IBA and NDPIA members introduces antibiotic resistance from a microbial perspective and from a clinical – One Health perspective.

The course gives an in-depth overview on:

• the modes of action of different antibiotics and how microbes resist the effects of the antibiotics,
• diagnostic methods to detect known and novel resistance genes,
• the origins of resistance genes and the biological cost of resistance for the microbe, and
• modern methodology for new antibiotic development and alternative therapeutics for infectious disease

When: 4-8 April, 2022

Where: Hjortviken, Gothenburg

Registration deadline: 9 February, 2022

Abstract submission deadline: 20 February, 2022
