Welcome message

 

We cordially invite you to join us in Montpellier for the 15th Biennial Conference of the Society for Tropical Veterinary Medicine (STVM) and the 17th Conference of the Association of Institutions for Tropical Veterinary Medicine (AITVM) which will be held jointly from 21 to 24 May 2024 at the Corum in Montpellier, France.

 

This conference is dedicated to animal production, health, and welfare in the tropics. The range of topics is wide and covers from small holder farm management and rural development to the health of productive animals and pets. An important restriction to animal health and production in tropical areas are infectious diseases caused by viruses, bacteria, and protozoa transmitted by arthropods. Also infestations of ectoparasites such as mosquitos, lice, flies, and ticks can lead to significant impairment of animal health and economic losses. However, non-vectorial diseases caused by pathogenic microorganisms and helminths are also of great importance. Whether your interests lie in basic or applied research in the fields of risk assessment and management of vectors and vector-borne diseases in human and veterinary health, this conference is a must for 2024.

 

Scientific Program

Conference Theme: ‘Tropical veterinary medicine in challenging times: how should academic and research programs adapt?’?

 

Topics include but are not limited to::

  • One Health
  • Food safety
  • Transboundary diseases & vector-borne diseases
  • Emerging diseases and climate change related challenges
  • Drug resistance
  • Animal health and production
  • Parasitology
  • Rural development
  • Animal welfare
  • Teaching and continuing education in tropical veterinary medicine

The broad aim of this conference is to promote discussion between scientists, practitioners and decision makers from various fields, as well as to update researchers, academics, governmental and non-governmental organization representatives, technicians, veterinarians and other professionals from industry and the private sector, interested in emerging and re-emerging epidemics affecting global health. This Congress will bring together members of two societies –AITVM and STVM– as well as other scientists and scholars, focused on the challenges associated with animal health, breeding and production in tropical and subtropical regions of the globe.

 

 

We are looking forward to meeting you in Montpellier in May 2024!
