Vaccines for enteric diseases: update on recent developments.
The 5th International Conference on Vaccines for Enteric Diseases (VED) attracted more than 250 delegates, mainly from industrialized countries. A total of 56 papers were presented and 46 posters were displayed to update recent developments in the field of enteric diseases and vaccine development. This 3-day event enabled academic research institutions, pharmaceutical and biotech companies, and international donors to get a sense of what has been going on since the last VED conference in 2007. Topical interests included typhoid and other salmonelloses, rotavirus, norovirus, Shigella spp., mucosal immunization and delivery, enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli and cholera.
