The Many Hosts of Mycobacteria
A Comparative Mycobacteriology Symposium
NIAID and HIH host this very small meeting in Bethesda, Maryland, USA.
The purpose of this symposium is to bring together a working group of researchers to discuss the current state of translational science for mycobacterial research.
This year's meeting is hosted by NIAID, NIH and will be held outside the NIAID campus in Bethesda, Maryland. It is a continuation of prior Many Hosts of Mycobacteria meetings held in Ames, IA; Gettysburg, PA; Carville, LA and Tampa, FL. One outcome of the meeting will be to receive input from the mycobacterial research community on the need for mycobacterial research resources that NIAID may be able to provide to contribute to the advancement of translational science in various mycobacterial diseases.
Presenters and Panels will offer a wide-range of experience in mycobacterial research, including: M. tuberculosis, M. leprae, M. bovis, M. marinum, M. ulcerans, M. avium spp. paratuberculosis, Rhodoccus equi, M. avium, and non-tuberculous mycobacteria and their relevant natural and experimental hosts: Humans, Mice, Guinea pigs, Rabbits, Non-human primates, Fish, Armadillos, Cattle, Deer, Cats/Lions, Elephants, Badgers, Possums, Horses, Cape Buffalo, Mongoose, and more.
