Abstract deadline extended: 1 August 2010

We are pleased to announce the extension of the abstract deadline to allow authors additional time for research and abstract completion and submission

Infectious Diseases and Epidemiology have never been more important topics than they are today. In these exciting times, we are proud to announce the 10th edition of the highly successful international conference series on the Molecular Epidemiology and Evolutionary Genetics of Infectious Diseases (MEEGID). Together, the MEEGID congress series and its companion journal, Infection, Genetics and Evolution, represent the main forum for cross-fertilization between evolutionary science and biomedical research on infectious diseases. This major scientific event will be held in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, from 3 - 5 November 2010.

Scientific Topics

• Molecular epidemiology
• Evolutionary genetics, genomics, proteomics
• Mathematical modeling & bio-informatics
• Molecular diagnostics
• Population biology
• Genetics, population biology and morphometrics of vectors
• Host genetic susceptibility to infectious diseases

MEEGID is a wide-ranging conference that deals with the molecular evolution of all pathogens: viruses, pathogenic bacteria, fungi, parasites and prions of medical, veterinary or agronomical relevance.

Through plenary lectures and symposia, special emphasis will be given to HIV/AIDS, malaria, tuberculosis, ebola and influenza.

Attendance at this conference will enable you to: Access unique, high-quality content and gain a state-of-the-art report on the latest developments in infectious diseases and epidemiology research Learn from experts in the field and meet with international researchers sharing a common interest. Present your latest research Network with an interdisciplinary group – including academics and researchers, as well as health and industry professionals.

To supplement the invited programme, abstracts are invited for poster presentation at the conference on the following topics.   A limited number of submissions will be selected for presentation as short oral communications within the conference programme. Coverage includes: Molecular epidemiology Evolutionary genetics, genomics, proteomics Mathematical modeling & bio-informatics Molecular diagnostics Population biology Genetics, population biology and morphometrics of vectors Host genetic susceptibility to infectious diseases All pathogens and infectious models will be considered, including those of veterinary or agronomical relevance.

The 10th International Conference on Molecular Epidemiology and Evolutionary Genetics of Infectious Diseases is sponsored and hosted by Infection, Genetics and Evolution, the Journal of Molecular Epidemiology and Evolutionary Genetics of Infectious Diseases.
