A little guide for advanced search:

  • Tip 1. You can use quotes "" to search for an exact expression.
    Example: "cell division"
  • Tip 2. You can use + symbol to restrict results containing all words.
    Example: +cell +stem
  • Tip 3. You can use + and - symbols to force inclusion or exclusion of specific words.
    Example: +cell -stem

About

The aim of this virtual training is to provide participants with in-depth knowledge of the agents causing diphtheria, and their diagnosis, clinical definition, antibiotic resistance and taxonomy. Diphtheria surveillance, vaccination strategies, and treatment protocols will also be covered. This webinar will also allow participants to gain practical bioinformatics skills for genotyping C. diphtheriae and C. ulcerans strains.

Dates and duration

This webinar takes place over two sessions:

  • Session 1: “Introduction to Diphtheria agents and their genomic diversity”
    Wednesday, March 5th, from 09:30 to 12:30 (GMT+1) 
  • Session 2: “Surveillance and Public Health Impact”
    Friday, March 7th, from 09:30 to 12:30 (GMT+1)

Objectives

  • Understand which are the causative agents of diphtheria
  • Learn about diagnostic techniques and clinical definition of diphtheria
  • Perform genotyping of C. diphtheriae and C. ulcerans strains for epidemiological surveillance and outbreak investigation
  • Understand antibiotic resistance breakpoints and resistance patterns of diphtheria agents.
  • Understand diphtheria surveillance at national and international scales
  • Gain knowledge about prevention, case management and transmission control approaches, including vaccination, antibiotic treatment and diphtheria antitoxin use.

Trainers

  • Dr. Sylvie Jonckheere (MSF, Belgique)
  • Dr. Erika Matuschek (EDL, Sweden)
  • Pr. Sylvain Brisse (Institut Pasteur, France)
  • M. Julien Potet (MSF, France)
  • Dr. Andreas Hoefer (ECDC, Sweden)
  • M. Jordi Borrell Pique (ECDC, Sweden)

Registration

The webinar is available for free on the ECDC Learning Portal, you can create an account to have access other webinars organized in this programme.

This interdisciplinary programme, funded by ECDC, combines lectures and practical sessions delivered by multiple host institutions in order to enhance surveillance, preparedness, and readiness to respond to outbreaks.
