IECD 2015

On behalf of the chair's and organizing committees, we would like to invite you to join us at the Impact of Environmental Changes on Infectious Diseases (IECID) 2015 which will be held at the Melia Hotel,Sitges, Spain on the 23- 25 March 2015. The meeting will be organized by Elsevier and will include plenary and several poster sessions.

Environmental changes the manifestations of which can include loss of biodiversity and habitat, increasing atmospheric temperature, rising sea level, and climatic instability (e.g., longer and more severe periods of drought or rainfall) are likely to affect the prevalence of various infectious diseases by making conditions more (or less) propitious for the survival of pathogens and their vectors, and by inducing mass movement of human and animal populations.

This conference will discuss the impact of current and predicted future environmental changes on infectious disease dynamics in people, wildlife, and livestock across the globe, and what actions need to be taken.Using Elseviers new app, you can browse the scientific programme by days, topic or speaker, create your own personal programme, locate rooms and exhibitor stands on the floorplans, and more.
