13th International Veterinary Immunology Symposium (IVIS)

The 13^th International Veterinary Immunology Symposium (IVIS) will be held in South Africa at the Kruger National Park on the 17-21 November 2023. 

Every three years IVIS brings together immunologists from the industry, universities, health services and independent research organizations from across the globe to share most exciting results and insights in the field of veterinary science and immunology, including biological mechanisms underlying host-pathogen interactions and specificities, vaccine and therapeutic strategies, innate and protective immunity, disease diagnosis and control, reagent and methodological developments. 

The Kruger Park and surrounding rural areas are emblematic of both the opportunities and threats that co-exist at the interface of human societies, their domestic animals, free-living wildlife, and the environments that they inhabit. In a context of global change, sustainably improved livestock systems and disease control are essential for not only the commercial livestock trade, but also for subsistence farming, food safety and security, human wellbeing, and the biodiversity conservation of ecologically and economically important ecosystems. In this spirit, the IVIS 2023 will address the challenging research issues raised for veterinary science in a One World – One Health perspective.
