RNA VIRUS PERSISTENCE MEETING: MECHANISMS AND CONSEQUENCES
PROGRAM
AUGUST 23 - 25, 2018
Institute of Virology, Medical Center - University of Freiburg
WELCOME
Mechanisms and consequences of RNA virus persistent infections:
It is generally assumed that following acute infection RNA viruses are effectively cleared by the immune system. However, an increasing number of observations indicate that the majority of acute infections can result in the establishment of persistent infection. Many of these infections undergo undetected and the consequences for their animal and human hosts are not well understood. Furthermore, the emergence and re-emergence of in-fectious diseases may be determined by persistent infections in the human community as well as in wild and domestic animal populations, potentially increasing the zoonotic potential of some viruses. Establishing persistent infection likely involves a number of molecular, cellular and immunological determinants, including the genetics of the viruses, the genetics of their hosts and potential new host species, and many environmental factors, such as other microorganisms.
The purpose of this two-day conference is bringing together scientists working on many different viruses to address and extensively discuss underlying general and specific questions concerning the mechanisms and consequences of persistent RNA virus infections with an emphasis on zoonotic aspects.
