Conference Description

Physicians, veterinarians, dentists, and researchers who study the causes and cures of infectious diseases in animals and humans are realizing that many diseases, when closely examined, involve multiple pathogenic players.  These are serious diseases and the responsible microorganisms can be difficult to diagnose and treat.  

This conference will deal with polymicrobial diseases as an integrated area of study that looks at the complex interactions among etiologic agents, the collective mechanisms of their pathogenicity, the synergistic clinical symptoms and pathology, and the resulting host response to infection.

Location

The conference will be held at Hyatt Regency Hotel at Incline Village, NV.  Nestled high in the Sierra Mountains, this hotel is located right on the edge of Lake Tahoe, providing breathtaking views of both the mountains and the lake. Only 34 miles from the Reno airport, this meeting location is easily accessible for participants.
