Past Programs

Formerly known as “VetPath”, this conference series was initiated in 2010 by Julian Rood, Ben Adler and a group of international colleagues to fill a major gap in the microbial conference spectrum by bringing together scientists and veterinarians interested in the infection mechanisms of veterinary pathogens.

The conference was rebranded as MedVetPATHOGENS with the aim of attracting scientists interested in the biology of bacterial pathogens as a whole, whether veterinary or medical.

MedVetPATHOGENS is guided by the “one health” ethos in recognition to the fact that the distinction between human and veterinary pathogens is merely artificial; they are not discrete microbial entities but the consequence of niche and host adaptive processes in an evolutionary continuum.
