ASID Zoonoses Conference 2026

Location: Brisbane, QLD

Host/s: Australasian Society for Infectious Diseases (ASID)

Dates: 3-4 July 2026

The theme for the meeting is Zoonoses and the Future of Health for All: The Cost of Not Listening.

Zoonoses 2026 isn’t just another infectious-diseases meeting — it’s where the walls between human, animal, and environmental health come down.

This cross-disciplinary conference brings together infectious-disease clinicians, veterinarians, microbiologists, ecologists, public-health professionals, policymakers, and researchers to tackle one shared challenge: how to prevent, detect, and respond to zoonotic threats in a rapidly changing world.

Whether you’re managing outbreaks, studying emerging pathogens, designing surveillance systems, or shaping policy, Zoonoses 2026 will equip you with insights, connections, and strategies to work smarter across sectors.

Our keynote speaker panel is confirmed with the following speakers:

Professor Michael Kidd, AO, Australian Chief Medical Officer (ACMO)
Dr Beth Cookson, Australian Chief Veterinary Officer (ACVO)
Dr Jane E Sykes, Chief Veterinary Medical Officer at the University of California
Dr Scott Weese, Director, Centre for Public Health and Zoonoses, Ontario Veterinary College (presenting virtually)
