Know more

The DYNAMO team is pleased to organise the 2nd International Scientific Conference on Animal Health Modelling. This event will take place entirely in webinars during 4 half-days each dedicated to a theme. It will bring together scientists from all over the world to open new avenues of research and international collaboration. Sessions will cover intra-host modelling of the immune response to infection, genomic and phylodynamic modelling, large-scale epidemiological models and networks, domestic fauna / wildlife interfaces, and the use of models to evaluate control strategies.

ModAH² is a unique event gathering experts in modelling and animal health and a unique opportunity to present your work in this area and have fruitful discussions with colleagues from abroad. Animal epidemiology is an important field of research that can provide essential insights in relation to current health crises, through its zoonotic component and more generally from an One Health perspective.

We are very pleased to announce that Veterinary Research (https://veterinaryresearch.biomedcentral.com/) will welcome the submission of papers presented at ModAH². To give you more time to submit an abstract for an oral presentation, the scientific committee of ModAH² has extended the submission deadline up to the 19th of March 2021.

Abstracts will be selected by mid-April.
