It will also promote exchanges of ideasamong Entomologists, Epidemiologists, Parasitologists and Immunologists working on these twomajor Diseases in Africa. There will be opportunity to promote communication of young scientistsemerging from the North and South.We cast the net wide to include a broad range of audience among influential academic partners(scientists), stakeholders, public health workers and industry to help shape and promote furtherresearch on malaria and HAT. .For more information, to register and/or submit an abstract, please go to our websitewww.symposiumpalutha.orgRegistration is free and compulsory. Register early as seats will go quickly – attendance iscapped at 300.We look forward to welcoming you all in Benin for an exciting and productive symposium.Regards,The board members:- Vincent Corbel, Ph.D. (IRD-CREC, Benin) ; Marie Claire Henry, MD, Ph.D. (MAEE-CREC,Benin), Mr Lin Atigli (Assistant)More informations here ► http://www.mpl.ird.fr/ur016/news.php?lng=en&pg=494 International Master (M2) in medical and veterinary Entomology - Year 2010-2011: 1st call for student applications (Dead line: March 31st, 2010)                      The fifth year of the International Master Degree in medical and veterinary Entomology (IME) will begin in September 2010 in Benin (West Africa).

Drame PM, Doucoure A, Mouchet F, Rossignol M et Corbel V. http://www.mpl.ird.fr/ur016/news.php?lng=en&pg=491 *EVIMalaR PhD programme : call for applications*EVIMalaR is a collaborative research Network of Excellence, funded by the European Commission. The consortium conducts research on malaria parasites and their interactions with both mammalian hosts and mosquito vectors. EVIMalaR’s International PhD Programme aims to train talented young scientists from both North and South in malaria research, with emphasis on interdisciplinary approaches.Training of the future EVIMalaR students is conducted through the virtual European Malaria Graduate School, which is organized and operated in collaboration with the EMBL and the Heidelberg University.Applications are invited for studentships (funded for a maximum of 3.5 years) linked to collaborative research projects, each supervised by two or more principle investigators from different countries. Applicants should hold the necessary qualifications entitling them to undertake a PhD study in their host country, and should possess a high standard of written and spoken English.Applications are to be submitted online via www.evimalar.org and are due by 8 March 2010. http://www.mpl.ird.fr/ur016/news.php?lng=en&pg=486 Soumahoro MK, Fontenille D, Turbelin C, Pelat C, Boyd A, Flahault A, Hanslik T, 2009.

The unit’s main interest will focus on the biology of pathogens, their hosts and their vectors. It will group together professors, lecturers, researchers, engineers, and technicians from the University of Montpellier 1, the IRD and the CNRS, joined by several lecturers from other universities, for a total of approximately 120 scientists, including 85 permanent staff members. http://www.mpl.ird.fr/ur016/news.php?lng=en&pg=478 The CCPV Unit 2005-2009 scientific report is available at the download page. http://www.mpl.ird.fr/ur016/news.php?lng=en&pg=472 VII Conférence Internationale Francophone d'Entomologie, CIFE5 au 10 Juillet 2010 à Louvain-la-NeuveVII Conférence Internationale Francophone d'Entomologie, CIFE5 au 10 Juillet 2010 à Louvain-la-Neuve, BelgiqueVous trouverez toute l'information sur le site http://sites.uclouvain.be/bdiv-cife2010/
