3rd Edition of Infectious Diseases World Conference 2027

Scientific Sessions - IDWC 2026

Zoonotic and Vector-Borne Diseases

The IDWC Zoonotic and Vector Borne Diseases session will examine diseases transmitted from animals to humans and their relationship to vectors, such as mosquitoes, ticks, and fleas. The session will include three different diseases transmitted and discussed: malaria, dengue fever, and chikungunya. The session will also cover ecological and environmental factors that affect transmission patterns. The One Health approach to zoonotic disease management will be highlighted. There will also be case studies presented on how outbreaks linked to animal reservoirs have occurred worldwide. We will emphasise strategies used for early detection and prevention of zoonotic diseases within this session. We will promote integrated health solutions.

In this session, we will also explore how climate change can affect vector distribution and spread disease. The presenters will have information about how temperature and precipitation affect vector populations. Participants will also be allowed to explore new vector control methods and technologies. One of the overall goals of IDWC is to foster interdisciplinary collaboration between environmental science and health sciences. Advances in biological and chemical vector-control methods will be discussed. Community-based prevention programmes will be highlighted for their importance in preventing transmission in regions where these diseases have become endemic. The emphasis of the session will be on sustainable intervention programmes.

The focus of this conference will be policy and international collaboration. Experts will examine global initiatives to contain zoonotic and vector-borne diseases and discuss how to improve global surveillance and reporting systems. The importance of international partnerships is a key component of outbreak response, and ethical considerations in wildlife and environmental management will be addressed. There will be emphasis on facilitating collaboration between governments and organisations at IDWC. The session will conclude with discussions on the future of disease prevention and the importance of strengthening global preparedness/response systems.
