Abstract
In Nagasaki on 14-16 November 1996, the Japanese Panel on Cholera and Related Diarrheal Diseases of the US-Japan Cooperative Medical Science Program hosted the first international conference on enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli (EHEC) and other diarrheal diseases since the devastating 1996 outbreaks in Japan and the United States. There were a series of presentations on the ecology, detection, genetics, epidemiology, pathogenesis, and impact of and vaccine developments for Vibrio cholerae, E. coli, Salmonella, Shigella, and Yersinia infections. These were followed by 1.5 days of presentations on the EHEC outbreaks in Japan and in the United States and the clinical manifestations, pathogenesis, and potential intervention strategies, including immunoprophylaxis. There was also a workshop on new directions and potential basic and clinical research collaborations relevant to EHEC and other diarrheal diseases.
