For the 50th Anniversary of the meeting in 2010, ASM produced 50 Years of ICAAC 1961-2010, a publication tracing the evolution and growth of ICAAC and the changes in science during this period.
For information on ICAAC materials available in the Center for the History of Microbiology/ASM Archives, contact the ASM Archivist

The American Society for Microbiology sponsors the annual ASM Biothreats Meeting (formerly known as ASM Biodefense and Emerging Diseases Research Meeting) as a forum for the discussion of new data from the research of microbiological sciences related to biodefense and bioterrorism, the latest information on preventative modalities, therapeutics, and clinical diagnoses related to biothreat agents, and the most recent trends in the management and planning of biodefense programs. A list of meeting dates and locations is below.
