The ICGEB started to organise its Leishmania course back in 2002, aiming at providing an opportunity for young scientists especially from least developed countries in endemic areas for advanced training on the related topics by leading scientists in the field, as well as to establish collaborations with fellow researchers.
Since then, the course has regularly been held every second year at the ICGEB Headquarters in Trieste, witnessing an increasing participation from an ever wider geographical region that in the last edition included participants from Tunisia, Sudan, Colombia, India, Iran, UK, Sri Lanka, Algeria, Nepal, Spain, Kenya, Brazil, Bangladesh, Afghanistan as well as Italy and the ICGEB laboratories.
Topics
- Overview of Leishmaniasis and its epidemiology
- Computer based analysis of the Leishmania Genome
- The Sandfly vector and transmission
- Virulence factors involved in infection
- Recent advances in therapy and vaccine development
