CVBD World ForumThe CVBD World Forum is a working group of leading experts in natural sciences, veterinary and human medicine from Europe, North America, Asia and Australia. It has been founded during the 1st International CVBD Symposium in April 2006 in Billesley, UK, as a consequence of the increasing global threats through canine vector-borne diseases (CVBD). The main goal of the CVBD World Forum is to exchange knowledge and findings about ectoparasite-pathogen-host interaction as well as characterisation and assessment of pathogens’ and vectors’ distribution in order to increase awareness for the specific regional risks of CVBD and to foster preventative measures. This work is supported by Bayer HealthCare, Animal Health Division. Annual meetings1st Int. CVBD Symposium
Leading experts in natural sciences, veterinary and human medicine from Europe, Israel, the USA and Australia met for the First International Canine Vector-Borne Disease (CVBD) Symposium in Billesley, UK, to discuss current scientific knowledge as well as future trends and needs concerning the clinical presentation, diagnosis, pathogenesis and prevention of pathogens transmitted by blood-feeding arthropods. As a logical outcome of this scientific meeting, the “CVBD World Forum” was founded.
2nd Int. CVBD Symposium
Sicily is a hot spot not only for numerous tourists, but also for several parasites and severe parasite-transmitted diseases. This made the island the perfect venue for the 2nd International CVBD Symposium. 33 leading experts in natural sciences, veterinary and human medicine from Europe, the USA, Australia and Asia spent two days on discussing the current situation and future developments in the field of canine vector-borne diseases, with special emphases to tick-borne diseases and leishmaniosis. 3rd Int. CVBD Symposium
“Using repellents remains the best prophylactic measure for dogs against the increasing global threat of parasite-transmitted infectious diseases.” This statement from Dr. Jean-Pierre Dedet, University of Montpellier, France, summarizes the discussions of 36 experts in natural sciences, veterinary and human medicine from Europe, North America and Asia during the 3rd International CVBD (canine vector-borne diseases) Symposium in Wiesbaden, Germany. |
