The third International Meeting on Emerging Diseases and Surveillance (IMED 2011), Vienna, Austria, 4-7 February 2011





The emergence of cholera in Haiti once again reminds us of the ferocity with which infectious diseases can strike and of the complex interactions of emerging infectious diseases with social conditions, human migration, and the ecosystem. These and other topics will be the subject of the upcoming International Meeting on Emerging Diseases and Surveillance (IMED 2011) to be held in Vienna, Austria from 4-7 February 2011. Once again, IMED will fully recognize the commonality of human and animal health in a true "one health" endeavor.
