I would like to draw your attention to yearly meeting of the Tuberculosis Surveillance and Research Unit (TSRU) on 15-17 April 2009 in Seoul, Korea.
The themes at this TSRU meeting are:
1. Surveillance strengthening & intensified case finding*
2. Research and surveillance on infection control
3. TB control in prisons
4. Laboratory aspects of TB
Furthermore, a session with free presentations is scheduled.
You are invited to submit abstracts (on TB IC) for presentation before 31 December 2008 to TSRU [at] kncvtbc.nl.
The objective of TSRU is to discuss TB surveillance and research in all aspects, so we also encourage submission of protocols or studies that are not yet finalized that you would like to discuss.
TSRU has funding available to cover the costs for approximately 4 participants, a decision on funding will be made after a decision on acceptance of abstracts has been made (31 January 2009).
The Scientific Committee (Ana Bierenbach, Hans Rieder, Felix Salaniponi and Susan van den Hof) will prepare the final agenda of the meeting and inform those having contributed abstracts before 31 January 2009. Participants whose abstract is accepted will be requested to prepare a full paper for the TSRU meeting book.
