Dear colleagues,
we're looking forward to inviting you to the National Symposium on Zoonoses Research 2018 in Berlin! Due to the great demand of our previous symposia and the recent organisational extension, for the first time ever, the Symposium is going to take place on three days, starting October 17 and ending on October 19, 2018. Once again, we aim to bring together students and professionals from different zoonoses research areas.
Zoonoses are a global challenge – whether they are well-known or newly emerging diseases, whether they are caused by viruses, bacteria, parasites or prions, or whether they are transmitted directly or via vectors. Well-founded interdisciplinary research is essential to successfully fight this health burden. For this year´s symposium we have again created an agenda that we hope appeals to everyone. This includes keynote presentations by well-known colleagues as well as selected workshop talks in parallel sessions covering a broad spectrum of topics.
Let’s join forces and strengthen once again the impact of the One Health Concept!
Sincerely yours,
Stephan Ludwig (Münster), Martin Groschup (Greifswald, Insel Riems), Sebastian C. Semler (Berlin) (Conference Chairs)
