City: Prague
Country: Czechoslovakia
Notes: Closing date for poster abstract submissions: Friday, May 21, 2005.
Description: From a global perspective, the preponderance of infectious disease is found in developing countries, where access to vaccines is limited, predominantly for reasons of cost. Therefore, although many effective vaccines have been developed, they
are not available to the populations who need them most and whilst there is an undoubted need to develop new vaccines to counter major diseases such as HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis and malaria, it must also be recognised that it is equally important to develop
technologies to produce existing medicines and vaccines more cheaply and in greater quantities with enhanced vaccine stability.
PBVA 2005 will offer an international forum to review the current state of research and applications/development of vaccines and antibodies expressed in plants and will allow international researchers to evaluate the prospects for such systems and the cur
rent barriers/limitations faced by these technologies. PBVA 2005 will aim to attract an international audience of researchers, clinicians, and representatives for academia, industry, and government/regulatory/public health organizations. Representatives f
or the human, veterinary, plant communities with an interest in vaccinology, immunology, biotechnology issues in relation to plant-based systems will find PBVA 2005 of value. PBVA 2005 will seek to develop the synergy between the human and veterinary medi
cal/immunological/plant biotechnology communities by focussing on the immunology, vaccinology, delivery, adjuvants, and efficacy of plant based proteins.
