This meeting follows the highly successful IMED 2007, which drew over 600 participants from more than 60 countries and at which more than 300 abstracts were presented.
IMED 2009 promises to bring together the public health community, scientists, health care workers, and other leaders in the field of emerging infectious diseases.

Once again, this meeting will fully embrace “one health” and welcomes the full participation of both the human and veterinary health sectors.
The conference will cover a wide range of emerging disease and surveillance issues including outbreak preparedness, prediction maps, climate change, emerging zoonoses, vaccines against emerging pathogens, and vectorborne diseases, along with many other topics in an exciting 3-day meeting.
