Dear Colleagues,
Emerging infectious diseases are at the center of the world's
attention. The threats of pandemic influenza and bioterrorism, and
the realization that new infectious diseases may be recognized at any
time, in any place, have dramatically raised our awareness. What are
the most important emerging disease threats? How can we quickly
detect their occurrences in order to respond in a timely and appropriate way?
ProMED-mail, the Program for Monitoring Emerging Diseases, is pleased
to invite you to the International Meeting on Emerging Diseases and
Surveillance 2009. Along with our cosponsors, the European Centers
for Disease Control, the World Organization for Animal Health, the
European Commission, and the Wildlife Conservation Society, we are
developing a conference that will bring together the public health
community, scientists, health care workers, and other leaders in the
field of emerging infectious diseases. The meeting will embrace the
'One Medicine, One Health' concept recognizing that, just as diseases
reach across national boundaries, so do they transcend species
barriers. We therefore welcome the full participation of both the
human and animal health communities.
Centrally located in Europe, the beautiful host city of Vienna is
rich in history and culture. IMED 2009 will be organized by the
International Society for Infectious Diseases (ISID), which has over
20 years experience in planning and implementing international
biomedical meetings.
Because of the enthusiastic response to the inaugural meeting, IMED
2007, which brought over 600 participants from 65 countries, IMED
2009 will expand to 3 full days of sessions and include more
opportunities for oral presentations of submitted abstracts. With
outstanding plenary speakers, symposia by expert panels, and both
oral and poster presentations of submitted abstracts, IMED 2009 is
certain to be the year's major conference for those involved in the
detection, monitoring, and study of emerging pathogens and to those
in the front lines of response. We look forward to seeing you in Vienna.
