The Canadian Wildlife Health Cooperative and the Centre for Public Health and Zoonoses at the Ontario Veterinary College are co-hosting the 71st annual International Conference on Diseases in Nature Communicable to Man (INCDNCM) at the University of Guelph.

The meetings will bring together members of the medical, veterinary and public health communities to discuss multidisciplinary topics, including viral, rickettsial, bacterial, parasitic and prion-related diseases acquired from natural sources, including animals (wild or domestic), contaminated water or food supplies, arthropod vectors and more.

This year’s R.R. Parker Memorial Speaker will be Dr. Nicholas Ogden of the National Microbiology Laboratory of the Public Health Agency of Canada. His lecture will discuss “Emerging Zoonoses: Causes, Consequences and How We Respond”.
