Chinese health officials and scholars and specialists from the
United States held a seminar Monday for better cooperation in
preventing and treating severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS).
The participants exchanged information about the control over and
research on SARS, and discussed possible cooperation between China
and the United States in this field, said Li Xueyong, Chinese
vice-minister of science and technology.
The two sides also talked about pathogen separation, sequence
bioinformatics and PCR test technology.
The US specialists were headed by W. Ian Lipkin, a noted US
