The 7th International Symposium on Emerging and Re-emerging Pig Diseases 2015, Kyoto, Japan (ISERPD2015 Kyoto) will be held from June 21st to 24th, 2015 at Kyoto International Conference Center in Kyoto, Japan.

Recognizing the increased importance of Asia in controlling emerging/re-emerging infectious diseases globally, the 7th ISERPD was determined to be held in Japan, which is the first time in the history of this symposium to be held in any Asian countries. The slogan of the ISERPD2015 Kyoto is "Global collaboration on controlling emerging and re-emerging pig diseases: From Asia towards to the World”. The scientific program is in development at this moment. The organizers are committed to providing an excellent scientific program that covers current economically significant diseases in swine industries worldwide (PRRS, PED, Influenza, PCVAD, etc.), as well as transboundary infectious animal diseases such as foot and mouth disease (FMD), African swine fever (ASF), classical swine fever (CSF), etc.

Registration and additional information is available on the symposium website: http://emerging2015.com/index.html. Early bird registration is available until March 31, 2015.
