Fifth Advances Against Aspergillosis Conference, Istanbul, Turkey
Aspergillus is a fungus whose spores are present in the air, but does not normally cause illness. However, an individual with a weakened immune status may be susceptible to aspergillus infection. Aspergillosis is a group of diseases which can result from aspergillus infection. The term also describes a large number of diseases involving both infection and growth of fungus as well as allergic responses. Aspergillosis can occur in a variety of organs, both in humans and animals.
The conference will look at all aspects of aspergillus infections and research development. The Aspergillus field is in a state of rapid advancement, including the publication of numerous post-genomic papers and substantial advances in translational and diagnostic research.
The conference will bring together academic scientists, and experts in aspergilllosis to exchange and share some of the newer molecular diagnostic tools that are available, and combination therapy now in clinical trials.For further information, please visit: http://www.advancesagainstaspergillosis.org/2012/index.htm(opens in new window)
