ISHAM NEWS! (05-08-2013)
Dear , |
The ISHAM website now has been enriched with a series of articles on the history of medical mycology, from ancient times until today, written by Luciano Polonelli. This large overview can be found here. |
 Thanks to hard work of oa.
members of the ISHAM Working Group Mycetoma and the Mycetoma Research
Center in Khartoum, this fungal infection is now on the WHO List of Neglected Tropical Diseases, see here. This means much recognition, and possibly facilitates for further research and therapy. For more information, see here.
|
A Course in Medical Mycology will be
organized in Leuven, Belgium, 16-26 September, 2013. The full program
can be found here; for further information, contact Katrien Lagrou. |
A short report of the 5th Congress of Asia Pacific Society for Medical Mycology (2013 APSMM), held in Chendu, China,
June 19-21, 2013, can be found here.
|
The 6 th Advances Against Aspergillosis will be held from 27 February – 1 March, 2014 in Madrid, Spain (www.AAA2014.org). The program will once again include an equal mix
of clinical and basic science research, diagnostic advances, and new
treatment strategies. Scholarships are available to those from
developing countries. Strongly recommended for everyone
working with Aspergillus. |
 The 9th International Conference on Cryptococcus and Cryptococcosis will be held in Amsterdam, The
Netherlands, 15-19 May, 2014. This major event is a must for everyone working in this area. Full information can be found here. The congress will be
preceded by an Educational Symposium on Yeast Infections under auspices
of ECMM; for information, click here.

 For the website of the ISHAM Working Group Clinical Fusarium, click here. There you will find an
announcement of a Workshop on clinical Fusarium and fusariosis, to be
organized in Coimbatore, India, 9 January, 2014, as a satellite of the
SIHAM Meeting http://www.siham2014.com/, 10-12 January, 2014.
