The fourth joint conference of the German Society for Hygiene and Microbiology (DGHM) was held on the dates from fifth to eighths of October. I participated and presented my research in this conference in a poster. The title was " Ticks (Acari: Ixodidae) of Livestock and Their Seasonal Activities, Meshkin-Shahr, Ardabil Province, Iran". The participants showed interest to my work and I found the chance to introduce the research I do to some of them in the proster presentation day. Some people asked me about vector borne disease and Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever virus in Iran. |

Another point that should be taken into account about this conference is the discipline in holding the congress. One could say that despite the huge number of attendants and speakers, a very fine discipline and order was kept in the speeches which were held in well equipped halls. The posters were also presented in a certain discipline and the places considered for them were proper and visible to the people in a way that one could just see all the works and it was impossible to miss any of it. The conference program was notified to the attendants in a well manner and generally I could say that it was a high quality conference in which the latest progresses in infectious diseases were presented and the discipline from which Germany is famous for could be felt all over this conference. |

The microbiology conference in which more than 1800 scientists from almost all of the European countries and some of the Asian, African, American, countries participated took place in Dresden, Germany. Dresden is the capital city of the free state of Saxony in Germany and is situated in a valley on the River Elbe. The conference was held in the congress center of Dresden which is beside the Elbe River and had the perfect view of this beautiful river.The fourth joint conference of the German Society for Hygiene and Microbiology (DGHM) was held on the dates from fifth to eighths of October. I participated and presented my research in this conference in a poster. The title was " Ticks (Acari: Ixodidae) of Livestock and Their Seasonal Activities, Meshkin-Shahr, Ardabil Province, Iran". The methods used in the presented papers were all modern methods using sophisticated new technologies. The presenters presented their work in the best way possible and I found the opportunity to get to know some new and modern approaches. Most of the methods were in the field of diagnosis of infectious diseases. One of the most important aspects of this congress was the participation of well known scientists in the technical fields. Moreover, a huge number of credible companies which produce kits and laboratory instruments. These companies introduced their latest products such as their latest diagnostic kits and modern laboratory instruments to the scientists that participated in this conference. |
