Program Getting to York University Accommodation at York University
There will be several keynote lectures introducing the national capacity of both India and Canada in the areas of critical importance to environment and vector-borne disease modeling: national priorities, disease surveillance, data sharing and bioinformatics, statistical analysis and mathematical modeling. There will be a few talks presenting the current status of collaborative research in West Nile virus, lymphatic filariasis and avian influenza, there will also be some exchanges of on-going projects on the roles of mathematcal modelling in the real-time response and management of emerging vector-borne diseases.

The symposium will be organized in a relatively unstructured fashion, so each plenary and invited lecture will be followed by a mediated group discussion. There will be less formal lectures than usual workshops to allow participate to form groups to discuss potential collaborations.

Tentative Agenda
Day 1: Surveillance and modeling environmental impact on health
Day 2: Modeling capacity for disease control and emergency response
Day 3: Bioinformatics and in-hosting dynamics
