ITM/DVTD Joint Colloquium on Zoonoses and Neglected Infectious Diseases of Africa

This colloquium organised jointly by the Institute of Tropical Medicine (ITM, Belgium) and the Department of Veterinary Tropical Diseases of the University of Pretoria (DVTD, South Africa) is the second in a series of three regional colloquia on research for the control of neglected infectious diseases, including zoonoses.  The first of these thematic colloquia was organised in Lima in 2009 and focused on Latin America.  With the 2011 colloquium, the focus shifts to Africa.  The event will offer a platform for animal and human health researchers and professionals to debate common challenges and identify key research priorities for the future.
