APCMV 2015

Dear Colleagues,

On behalf of the Organizing Committee, we are pleased to extend our sincere appreciation for your participation and contribution in the 10th Asia-Pacific Congress of Medical Virology 2015 (APCMV 2015) in conjunction with 12th Taipei International Conference on HIV/AIDS, which will be held in Taipei International Convention Center, from October 15th (Thur.) to October 18th (Sun.), 2015!

As you might be aware of, the Asia-Pacific Congress of Medical Virology is held every three years and focuses on diagnostic, public health, research and clinical virology.  It’s our great pleasure to announce the Congress will be its first time in Taipei since 1988 and hosted by Taiwan Society of Microbiology (TSM), collaborating with Centers for Disease Control, Ministry of Health and Welfare (Taiwan CDC), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (USA CDC), Council of Agriculture, Executive Yuan, Global Chinese Association of Clinical Microbiology and Infectious Diseases (GCACMID), MOHW-NTU Infectious Diseases Research and Education Center, Taiwan Association for the Study of the Liver (TASL), Taiwan AIDS Society, The Infectious Diseases Society of Taiwan (IDST), and The National Health Research Institutes (NHRI).

In the past years, new viruses such as Ebola virus, avian-influenza A  viruses and MERS-CoV have emerged. Conditions of agriculture and wildlife are such that new virus will continue to be a threat to human health, and Asia is no doubt a hot zone. There is also encouraging progress on the development of new therapeutic agents and strategy to preserve the health of patients suffering from viral infections such as HIV-1 and hepatitis viruses. During the past 4 days, the 10th Congress reviewed, presented and discussed current progress in each of these areas.  All of the participants shared and exchanged their advanced knowledge and precious experiences.  With your great support, the Congress was certainly a big success!

Thank you again and see you soon in Taiwan in the near future!
