Tularemia 2023 will focus on fundamental, clinical, and applied research regarding any aspect of Francisella tularensis. Research uncovers not only the biology of this fascinating bacterium, but also provides the basis for future development of treatments, preventive interventions, and disease diagnosis.

Thanks to all who have submitted an abstract by the May 23rd deadline. Abstract peer review is underway and notifications will be sent out mid June.

Continuing with this strong track record of success, the 10th International Conference on Tularemia will be held at the World Trade Center in Grenoble Alps, France, from 25-28 September, 2023. The conference will include a keynote address as well as six plenary sessions, poster previews (flash talks) and two poster sessions, with additional opportunities for networking during shared meals and social activities.

The program will be comprised of common plenary sessions and poster sessions, without any breakout or parallel sessions. Each plenary session will be chaired by and include invited speakers who are recognized leaders in the field. As a means to feature the most up-to-date and exciting unpublished science, most of the speakers will be selected based on the merits of submitted abstracts. This structure provides maximum presentation opportunities to trainees and early career investigators, and offers a supportive environment in which trainees and all attendees can build their knowledge, hone presentation skills and establish professional mentor/mentee relationships in the community.

About

Tularemia is a rapidly progressive and potentially fatal zoonosis of humans caused by the intracellular bacterial pathogen, Francisella tularensis. Because of its low infectious dose and lethality when inhaled, F. tularensis was developed as a bioweapon by three countries, and remains a potential bioterroist agent. Research and understanding of tularemia pathogenesis, diagnosis, treatment, and prevention have been significantly advanced by the International Conferences on Tularemia, the first of which was held in Umea, Sweden in 1995. Attendance and impact of this triennial series of meetings has grown steadily in subsequent years. At present, this conference is a unique venue that brings together scientists and interested parties from the U.S., Canada, Scandinavia, Europe, Russia, and Japan.
