Submit your oral and poster abstracts here! Deadline: 30 May 2025

17th International Conference on Molecular Epidemiology and Evolutional Genetics of Infectious Diseases

Attending MEEGID XVII will enable you to learn about the latest developments in infectious diseases and epidemiology research from experts in the field.

Join the conversation #MEEGID2025

Organized by Elsevier, the 17^th International Conference on Molecular Epidemiology and Evolutionary Genetics of Infectious Diseases (MEEGID XVII) will include 10 – 15 plenary lectures, 15 – 20 two-hour specialized symposia, and several poster sessions. Special emphasis will be given to health problems of specific interest to the present world: COVID-19, the spread of transmissible diseases linked to climate and ecological disorders, tuberculosis, AIDS, malaria, to name a few.

Plenary lectures and symposia will also deal with transversal topics, such as population genetics, evolution, speciation, taxonomy, phylogenetics and phylodynamics, modelling, and molecular epidemiology.

Attending this conference will enable you to learn about the latest developments in infectious diseases and epidemiology research from experts in the field, present your latest research to your peers and network with an interdisciplinary group from around the world - including academics and researchers, as well as health and industry professionals.

Conference Topics:

Oral and poster abstracts are invited on the following topics and should be submitted using the online abstract submission system abre em uma nova guia/janela. Deadline: 30 May 2025

Genetics and genomics of pathogens and vectors

Infection, Genetics and Evolution abre em uma nova guia/janelawelcomes articles dealing with genetics, population genetics, genomics, gene expression, population dynamics, mathematical modeling, bioinformatics, and any related area that contributes to improve our understanding of the genetics and evolutionary biology of hosts, pathogens and vectors, as well as coevolution processes among them in relation to infections and infectious diseases manifestations. All infectious models enter the scope of the journal, including pathogens of humans, animals, and plants, either parasites, fungi, bacteria, viruses or prions.

Infection, Genetics and Evolution and its companion congress MEEGID abre em uma nova guia/janela (for Molecular Epidemiology and Evolutionary Genetics of Infectious Diseases) are the main forum acting for the cross-fertilization between evolutionary science and biomedical research on infectious diseases. Infection, Genetics and Evolution is the only journal that welcomes articles dealing with the genetics and evolutionary biology of hosts, pathogens and vectors, and coevolution processes among them in relation to infection and disease manifestation. All infectious models enter the scope of the journal, including pathogens of humans, animals and plants, either parasites, fungi, bacteria, viruses or prions. The journal welcomes articles dealing with genetics, population genetics, genomics, postgenomics, gene expression, evolutionary biology, population dynamics, mathematical modelingand bioinformatics.

Associated Journals

Epidemics Epidemics publishes papers on infectious disease dynamics in the broadest sense. Its scope covers both within-host dynamics of infectious agents and dynamics at the population level, particularly the interaction between the two. Areas of emphasis include: spread, transmission, persistence, implications and population dynamics of infectious diseases; population and public health as well as policy aspects of control and prevention; dynamics at the individual level; interaction with the environment, ecology and evolution of infectious diseases, as well as population genetics of infectious agents.

Journal Information abre em uma nova guia/janela

Gene Gene publishes papers that focus on the regulation, expression, function and evolution of genes in all biological contexts, including all prokaryotic and eukaryotic organisms, as well as viruses. Gene encourages submission of novel manuscripts that present a reasonable level of analysis, functional relevance and/or mechanistic insight. Gene also welcomes papers that have predominantly a descriptive component but improve the essential basis of knowledge for subsequent functional studies, or provide important confirmation of recently published discoveries.
