11th International Conference on Molecular Epidemiology and Evolutionary Genetics of Infectious Diseases
Call for Papers
Present your latest research at this international conference and share with an international audience of researchers in your field. Abstracts for oral and poster presentations should be submitted before Wednesday 18th July 2012. MEEGID is a wide-ranging conference that deals with the molecular evolution of all pathogens: viruses, pathogenic bacteria, fungi, parasites and prions.
Main Topics Include:
- Evolutionary genetics, genomics, proteomics
- Genetics, population biology and morphometrics of vectors
- Host genetic susceptibility to infectious diseases
- Mathematical modeling & bio-informatics
- Molecular diagnostics
- Molecular epidemiology
- Population biology
- Coevolution

Introduction to MEEGID XI
We are proud to announce the 11th edition of the highly successful international conference series on the Molecular Epidemiology and Evolutionary Genetics of Infectious Diseases (MEEGID). Together, the MEEGID congress series and its companion journal, Infection, Genetics and Evolution, represent the main forum for cross-fertilization between evolutionary science and biomedical research on infectious diseases.
Attendance at this conference will enable you to:
- Access unique, high-quality content
- Learn about the latest developments in infectious diseases and epidemiology research from experts in the field
- Present your latest research to your peers
- Network with an interdisciplinary group from around the world – including academics and researchers, as well as health and industry professionals
Delegate feedback from MEEGID X in 2010
"A global approach of infectious diseases, a wide range of participating countries, a good mix of basic and more applied research..."
"...infectious diseases and evolution is one single conference. Other conferences have isolated talks on this inter-disciplinary subject."
"...an excellent opportunity to exchange scientific experiences and to establish new contacts around the world."
"There were, as usual, some very innovative approaches presented with extremely interesting results."
"The talks were very exciting, usually giving some important information that has not yet been published."
