The International Brucellosis Society provides a forum for education of its members and the public on brucellosis and related diseases. The Society is composed of scientists who meet once a year to exchange information on basic and applied mechanisms of animal and human disease research related to brucellosis and its impact worldwide. This multidisciplinary forum brings together basic biology, genomics, immunology, disease prevention, diagnostics and pathogenic mechanisms looking at the diverse areas of Brucellosis research.
The International Brucellosis Society originated from the annual gathering of researchers, veterinarians, and regulatory agency officials in Chicago, USA, to exchange ideas and discuss research findings in dealing with brucellosis prevention and control. The first Brucellosis Research Conference was held at the Morrison Hotel in Chicago in November, 1948. The annual conference gained a national and international reputation for its quality presentations and in-depth discussions. Recognizing the regular participation of an increasing number of international researchers, in 2000, for the first time, the conference was held outside the USA, in Nimes, France.
Subsequently, other international brucellosis research conferences were held in Pamplona, Spain (2003); Merida, Mexico (2005); London, UK (2008); Buenos Aires, Argentina (2011); Berlin, Germany (2014); New Delhi, India (2016); and Giulianova-Teramo, Italy (2022). These international conferences provided an opportunity for broader participation of scientists, veterinary and medical professionals, and others interested in brucellosis, especially those from countries where the disease is endemic.
Veterinarians, microbiologists, clinicians, laboratory workers and basic researchers attend these meetings along with regulatory officials. The presentations vary from basic animal research and vaccinology, serological and microbiological studies, and epidemiology to high-tech molecular investigations.
