The recommendations concerning infectious diseases are based on two meetings: In 2004 the international symposium „Threat of Infections: Microbes of High Pathogenic Potential – Strategies for Detection, Control and Eradication“ took place in Würzburg and was organised together with the Académie des sciences (France). In October 2004 the first Leopoldina Annual Conference took place in Heidelberg about „Microbes in Malignancy“. The recommendations issued are based on these events.
