Presentation
The 1st Swine Influenza Symposium is an international scientific meeting that aims to bring together researchers, veterinarians, industry representatives, decision-makers and other key stakeholders from around the world who are engaged in surveillance and monitoring, studying, controlling and preventing this disease. Building on the European Network on Swine Influenza (ESFLU), a COST Action of the European Union, the symposium is intended to lay the groundwork for regular international events for the global swine influenza community.
The inaugural edition will take place in Zagreb and is being organised by ESFLU, the Croatian Veterinary Institute and the Croatian Veterinary Chamber. The scientific program will address current challenges and emerging trends in swine influenza, including epidemiology, virus evolution, surveillance, biosecurity, vaccination strategies and One Health implications. Between 100 and 200 people are expected to attend, including the key opinion leaders in this field.
