"A pathogen does not care about the distance between two places" National symposium for zoonoses research with more than 300 participants in Berlin 19.10.2016. "By trying to see the world from the pathogen's perspective, we can better prepare ourselves for the spread of emerging infections," said Prof. Dr. Dirk Brockmann (Robert Koch Institute and HU Berlin) in his keynote speech at the opening of the National Symposium on Zoo-Nose Research, which was held in Berlin on 13 and 14 October 2016 with over 300 participants. With the help of network theory, patterns could be made visible that would

More than 300 scientists met on 7th and 8th October 2010 in Berlin for the National Symposium on Zoonoses Research Whether in food or in the fur of the peaceful pet - zoonotic agents are everywhere. Avoiding infectious diseases that can be transmitted from animals to humans and vice versa is therefore just as important and subject to intensive research as the diagnosis or therapy of such diseases. Under the umbrella of the National Research Platform for Zoonoses, scientists from a wide range of disciplines meet every autumn to exchange scientific information and benefit from new findings. This

International Symposium on Zoonoses Research with a focus on "Neglected Tropical Diseases" (NTDs) brings together over 400 scientists from all over the world in Berlin Neglected Tropical Diseases (NTDs) are infectious diseases that occur mainly in tropical and subtropical regions of the world. According to the WHO, population groups primarily affected include those living in poverty, lacking access to adequate sanitation or living in close contact with animals. Globalisation and climate change are dramatically changing the potential danger posed by these often zoonotic diseases. In this

For more than 10 years the Symposium of the German Research Platform for Zoonoses is an established date in the calendars of zoonoses researchers in Germany and beyond. For 2020 the program was already fixed, and the venue site booked. First signs that this year would be different already occurred during a meeting of the office sites of the platform in the beginning of January. The meeting was occasionally interrupted by phone calls. The topic: The new coronavirus in Wuhan, China. However, at that timepoint it was still unclear whether we were standing at the edge of a pandemic. A few month

The symposium of the German Research Platform for Zoonoses once again brought together hundreds of researchers for an exchange of data and expertise. Under the title "Zoonoses 2021: From Disease Ecology to SARS-CoV-2", more than 300 zoonoses researchers met online from October 13 to 15, 2021, to share current research results. The wide range of topics reflected the diverse field of research and once again demonstrated the importance of interdisciplinary collaboration to achieve sustainable success in zoonoses research, control and prevention. It is not without a certain irony that it is a
