Dear Colleagues,
 

We are thrilled to invite you to the 10th International Conference on Emerging Zoonoses and Transboundary Diseases, to be held in the vibrant city of Bari, Italy, from June 23–26, 2026.
 

This conference continues to serve as a vital platform for the global scientific community to present and discuss emerging zoonotic and transboundary infectious diseases. These diseases, which transcend borders and impact both human and animal health, remain one of the most significant challenges to global health security.
 

The COVID-19 pandemic, along with the recent resurgence of pathogens like Monkeypox and H5N1, has highlighted the urgent need for collaboration, research, and innovative solutions to combat these threats. In particular, the persistent and evolving threat of avian influenza, with its increasing host range and zoonotic potential, underscores the critical importance of vigilance and the need for a coordinated One Health approach.

As the landscape of zoonotic diseases continues to evolve, our collective response and preparedness must keep pace to safeguard animal and public health and biodiversity.
 

In Bari, we will come together to exchange the latest scientific insights, engage in critical discussions, and explore new strategies to prevent and mitigate the risks posed by these infectious diseases. We invite you to be part of this important event and contribute your expertise to shaping the future of zoonotic and transboundary disease research and response.

Nestled along the Adriatic coast, Bari offers a unique backdrop of history, culture, and natural beauty, providing the perfect setting for collaboration and networking in a relaxed, yet inspiring environment.
 

We look forward to welcoming you to Bari for this milestone event as we continue our shared commitment to advancing the fight against emerging zoonotic and transboundary infectious diseases.
 

Warm regards,
