🦠 EMBO Workshop Shigella: from biology to prevention

📅 April 20-24, 2026
📍 Institut Pasteur, Paris

Register now ➡️ www.shigella2026.conferences-pasteur.org/home

@embo.org @shigellameeting.bsky.social
Shigella was the leading cause of diarrheal disease during World War One; and more than 100 years later, it continues to cause approximately 200 million cases and 216,000 deaths per year around the globe. Shigella is a leading cause of moderate to severe diarrhea in children less than five years of age in low- and middle-income nations, and significant disease occurs throughout Europe and North America due to sexual transmission, food borne and water borne outbreaks, and high incidence in homeless populations. The lack of a licensed vaccine, coupled with alarming increases in antimicrobial resistance, has led the World Health Organization to declare Shigella a priority pathogen for which research into new therapeutics are urgently needed.

Don't let the bug's virulence fill you with dread,
When gourmet French dining awaits you instead.

So pack up your notes and your best, clever wits,
To discuss all the bug's crafty cellular tricks!
