Finally... IOM 2024 Gran Canaria has ended...

Don't cry because it's over. Smile because it happened.

Next edition has been announced : IOM 2026, see you in Krakow 🇵🇱🇵🇱

Another award, which is not happening at all IOM's - the IOM Founders award is attributed to Steve Geary and Glenn Browning.
The are recognized as two long standing members of our organization and pillars of the mycoplasmology community.

Final talk : Lucas Miranda Marques on the development and immunogenicity of a multiepitope recombinant antigen for the diagnosis of Mycoplasma genitalium

[International Organization for Mycoplasmology @IOM_network]

Next one up: Manoel Neres Santos Junior on theicroorganism-host interaction and the immunomodulatory mechanisms of synthetic genome Mycoplasma mycoides subsp. capri (Mmc) strains in caprine peripheral blood mononuclear cells culture

From bovine to avian ! Sahar Zare asks if the GAPDH-Enhanced MS-H Strain Redefine Vaccine Efficacy?

[International Organization for Mycoplasmology @IOM_network]

From bovis to agalactiae - Rohini Chopra Dewasthaly is talking about the immune responses of sheep experimentally infected with M. agalactiae & the role of Vpma phase variation and differential responses elicited by individual “Phase-Locked” Vpma Expression Variants

Last day of IOM 2024.
We start with Thomas Démoulins presenting his work on how temperature impacts the bovine ex vivo immune response towards Mycoplasmopsis bovis

[International Organization for Mycoplasmology @IOM_network]
