This meeting was held in Glasgow from 5th - 7th November 2007.  Details are available at: http://www.zoonoses.co.uk/

INCDNCM conferences are multidisciplinary and include topics on viral, rickettsial, bacterial, parasitic, and prion-related diseases acquired from natural sources, including animals (wild or domestic), contaminated water or food supplies, arthropod vectors and other sources. The focus of the meeting is to present information from clinical, epidemiological, research and diagnostic areas primarily related to zoonotic diseases, both current and emerging. This meeting is especially suited to public health practitioners and healthcare workers, such as laboratorians, epidemiologists, veterinarians, infectious disease specialists, medical health officers, researchers and students, who have an interest in zoonotic infections and wish to present their findings either orally or through posters sessions.

The International Meeting on Emerging Diseases and Surveillance (IMED 2007), co-sponsored by ProMED, the European CDC, the OIE (World Organisation for Animal Health), the WHO Regional Office for Europe, and the European Commission, will bring together leaders in human and veterinary medicine and public health, epidemiology and surveillance, emergency preparedness, microbiology and other related disciplines to help improve our abilities to detect, monitor, and respond to emerging disease threats.

Location: Swissotel The Stamford/Biopolis • Singapore. Dates: December 10 - 15, 2006. Meeting Summary: Most human viral infections are derived from viruses of animals at some time in the past. The process continues, with adaptation taking place before our eyes. There is a need to bring together medical and veterinary virologists to discuss the ecologies of these agents, how they are transmitted and how we can block transmission to humans. The key problems in this area are the identification of reservoirs, the mechanics of transmission, and how to predict and perhaps control adaptation to new hosts. This meeting will be held in Singapore, a central point in Asia, where most of the interaction between animals and humans is occurring, and thus where new knowledge needs to be applied. We will seek to bring as many Asian virologists as possible to give short papers.

 

Location: Cairns Australia. Dates: 6-11 Aug 2006 Themes includee aquatic epidemiology, investigation of disease distribution and determinants, animal health delivery and response, tools and training for epidemiologists, disease surveillance, risk analysis, economics, global and emerging disease issues (avian influenza, foot and mouth disease and wildlife diseases), and food safety. The 5-day symposium programme will nclude over 600 presentations and 300 posters. In addition, 10 pre- and post-symposium workshops are on offer.

 

ALL TALKS AND CASE STUDIES FROM THIS MEETING ARE NOW AVAILABLE ON THE WEBSITE under REPORTS Aims and Objectives – promoting cooperative working, support and sharing of information between those individuals and institutions involved with zoonotic diseases. Target Audience – Health Protection Agency, veterinarians in universities, State Veterinary Service, Veterinary Laboratories Agency, Environment Agency, Local Authorities, Trading Standards, Food Standards Agency, United Utilities, Health and Safety Executive.

Venue: Lisbon, Portugal Date: 15-18 Jun 2006 The meeting will cover topical issues such as pandemic influenza preparedness, zoonotic disease surveillance, polio eradication and community acquired MRSA. Advances in HIV treatment in high and low-income settings, the influence of bacterial microevolution and crosstalk on pathogenesis, new insights into tuberculosis control, the latest developments in vaccines for malaria, tuberculosis and HIV, and host genetics in community acquired pneumonia.

Date: 10-12 May 2006, Location: Saint Malo, France, Major themes of the symposium include: Detection, identification, typing; Interactions between hosts and bacteria; Immune response; Ecology and animal epidemiology; Ecology and public health; Antimicrobial resistance; Control and risk assessment.

 

Dates: 3-5 May 2006. Location: Brofstet Conference Centre, Kalmar, Sweden. The purpose of the meeting is to bring together both basic and clinical scientists active in the field of zoonotic infections and zoonotic infectious agents in order to increase networking and interdisciplinary collaboration between human and veterinary medicine, microbiology, epidemiology, ecology, biology, and other related biosciences.
