Scientific Programme

More than 100 years after the first description of Micrococcus melitensis by Sir David Bruce, brucellosis is still of major public health concern both in endemic and non-endemic countries all over the world. The impact on animal and human health is severe and eradication and control of this zoonotic disease remains a global and interdisciplinary challenge.

A provisional programme has already been prepared. It includes a number of high-quality plenary sessions that will present the very latest research across a number of fields:

  • Taxonomy, Evolution, Emerging Species
  • Genomics, Proteomics and Metabolomics
  • Host-Pathogen Interaction
  • Immunology
  • Vaccination
  • Diagnostics
  • Human and Pet Brucellosis
  • Livestock Brucellosis and Food Hygiene
  • Wildlife Brucellosis

Each session will start with a keynote lecture of 25 min + 5 min of discussion followed by short oral communications of 9 min + 3 min of discussions. Besides the lectures, poster contributions are integrated into the academic programme, to create a broad discussion forum for many subject areas.
