The International Organization for Mycoplasmology is now on Twitter 👋. If your are interested in Mollicutes🦠, follow us! To become an IOM member➡️ iom-online.org Our next congress will be in July in Osaka 🇯🇵 @IOM_Osaka

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.

IOM 2024 is concluding. The Harry Morton Award goes to Marina Marcos Silva 🏆 The Louis Diene Award goes to Yamile Ana 🏆

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

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

The floor is now to Thatcha Yimthin and her analysis of the immune responses elicited by Janus-faced Mycoplasma mycoides - glycans make the difference

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

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

2 in 1- Musa Mulongo is presenting both a Report of CBPP expert Workshop on measurement of efficacy in Clinical Trials; and the work of Hezron Wesonga: Recent observations on use of tulathromycin and oxytetracylines in the treatment of contagious bovine pleuropneumonia in Kenya

Up next Maryne Jaÿ: Recent updates for VIGIMYC, a settled 20-year old surveillance network dedicated to ruminant mycoplasmas

Finishing the day with a few quick rounds of Short Talk. Up first: Theresa Wagner @resa_wagner: Mycoplasma extracellular vesicle interaction with the bovine host

Last talk by Shigeyuki Kakizawa: Serum and albumin free media for Mycoplasmas

Know your ABC's ! Prescott Atkinson presents an ABC transporter pair essential for the synthesis of the Mycoplasma genitalium biofilm structural exopolysaccharide

Another structural biology talk! By Federico Gabriel Mirkin on the structural landscape of the secretome of phytoplasmas, master modulators of plant architecture

For once, some structural biology! Hengning Wu and his structural analysis and molecular dynamics simulations of urease from Ureaplasma parvum

Next in the session : Aizhen Guo on how the cyclic adenylate synthase MbovP496 regulates Mycoplasmopsis bovis growth by affecting potassium ion transport channels
