Asia has been at the epicentre of emerging viral diseases during the last decade, with enterovirus 71, Nipah, SARS, avian flu and chikungunya being some recent examples. While considerable advances have been made in the control of some diseases e.g. polio, other endemic diseases such as viral hepatitis, dengue, Japanese encephalitis and HIV continue to take a formidable toll. It is thus an opportune time for us to hold the 8th Asia Pacific Congress of Medical Virology to discuss some of these challenges we face. It is our privilege to host this meeting in Hong Kong on 25-28 February 2009. We hope that you will attend and contribute to the success of this scientific meeting, while also having time to enjoy the great city of Hong Kong. |
