Save The Date for IMED 2014: Oct. 31 - Nov. 3, 2014


Dear Colleague,

SAVE THE DATE: The 5th International Meeting on Emerging Diseases and Surveillance (IMED 2014) is scheduled for October 31 - November 3, 2014 in Vienna, Austria, organized by ISID and ProMED.

The threats posed by pandemic influenza, bioterrorism and the realization that new infectious diseases may be recognized at any time, in any place have dramatically raised our awareness and our need to understand emerging pathogens. What are the most important emerging disease threats? What biological, ecological, social and other factors lead to their emergence? How can we quickly detect their occurrences in order to respond in timely and appropriate ways? This meeting will fully embody the "one health" model of emerging diseases, recognizing the commonality of human and animal health.

Planned session topics include:
  • Methods and Models of Disease Surveillance Detection and Reporting
  • Emerging Zoonoses and Animal Health Threats
  • Animal Reservoirs for Emerging Pathogens
  • Biosecurity and Agents of Bioterrorism and Biological Warfare
  • Infections Related to Travel and Migration of Humans and Animals
