We are proud to announce the 1st Zing Biology of Anthrax Conference which shall be taking place in November 2016.
Anthrax is a disease caused by the bacterium Bacillus anthracis. While primarily a sporadic pathogen of herbivores, its use as a bio-terror agent has highlighted its ability to infect humans. This conference aims to bring together investigators active in this area with a view to sharing observations and ideas and fostering new collaborations and synergies. Participants at previous conferences in Cardiff in 2009 and 2014 included representatives from academia, industry, policy makers and government.
Presentations will be welcomed in any of the following areas;
Ecology and Epidemiology
Detection, diagnostics and forensic typing methods
Pathology of the disease in animals and humans
Development and distribution of medical countermeasures
Decontamination and remediation
Biosafety and biosecurity
The scientific programme will be completed with speakers selected from the submitted abstracts. Abstracts which are not selected for oral presentation will have the opportunity to be presented as posters.
