Summary

The last several decades has seen the emergence of numerous novel infectious diseases. Compounding this is the re-emergence of diseases as a result of a combination of reasons, such as increased host exposure and environmental factors. Research in emerging infectious diseases is growing rapidly, with new breakthroughs in the understanding of host-pathogen interactions and the development of innovative and exciting therapeutic strategies.

This conference aims to bring together researchers in the field of “One-health”, uniting the areas of animal and human disease, as well as the environmental issues around the emergence of infectious disease.
