Dengue Diseases: from Epidemiology to Treatment

 

登革熱被世界衛生組織(WHO)列為最重要的蚊媒病毒疾病。由於病毒載體在全球之散佈,疾病持續快速擴散中。近年來,全球暖化及洲際飛航更為登革熱的傳播推波助瀾,由熱帶及亞熱帶向各國蔓延。今年台灣亦飽受登革熱肆虐,入夏以來全台累積病例破30,000例,值得各界關心。


防治登革熱需多管齊下,公衛、醫療及環境並重。在醫療方面尚有極大的未滿足需求,有鑑於此,全福生物科技公司、生物技術開發中心及生技醫藥國家型科技計畫訂於2015年12月16日舉辦”Dengue Diseases: from Epidemiology to Treatment”研討會,邀請國際級學者及國內專家分享心得,期能加深各界對登革熱的認知和注意,並對全球研發之最新趨勢更為了解。


大會由參與登革熱疫情控制的蘇益仁醫師開場,分享其身居第一線的防疫及治療策略。麻省理工學院Steven R. Tannenbaum教授多年來為人類面臨的重大問題找尋創新的解決方案,遠道而來分享登革熱預後相關之生物標記研究。另外,還邀請多位在研究上卓具經驗的國內外專家,分別就登革熱於亞太地區的發展、診斷方法、小分子、單株抗體、及疫苗各方面的藥物開發議題進行探討。希望藉此機會,讓大家對登革熱的流病學及防治發展有進一步的了解認識,並期許在各界的持續努力下,能有效達成緩解傳染病威脅的目標。
