Influenza 2010: Zoonotic Influenza and Human Health

Abstract:: Welcome to Influenza2010

Oxford influenza conferences provide a unique platform, bringing together veterinary and human influenza researchers. The third Oxford influenza conference, Influenza 2010, will address most aspects of basic and applied research on zoonotic influenza viruses (including avian and swine) and their medical and socio-economic impact. We invite proposals for podium and poster sessions in the following general areas:-

    * Epidemiology and evolution of animal viruses, including avian and swine
    * Migratory birds in influenza epidemiology
    * Molecular biology and analysis of viral strains - molecular genetics of host-pathogen interaction
    * Virulence and pathogenecity
    * Mathematical models
    * National and international surveillance, containment, management and contingency strategies
    * Antiviral drug development and treatment strategies, including vaccination
    * Advances in viral detection and identification technologies
    * Economic impact on veterinary industry
