 A one-day seminar entitled ‘One World, One Disease,’ will take place at the Royal Society of Medicine (RSM), Wimpole Street, London, on 24 June 2008.
The event will examine some of the effects of climate change on patterns of animal health and the impact of this on humans.
The meeting will provide an understanding of the complexity of the global changes that we face, and will work towards the integrated approach needed to manage the serious problems that threaten animal and human health.
About two-thirds of new infectious diseases that threaten humans come from animals. With global climate change, this looks set to increase. Now more than ever, it is important that veterinary and medical colleagues come together to discuss disease control strategies.

News: AVMA convention-goers can lend a hand to New Orleans animal shelters

"Voluntourism" is a growing trend combining travel and volunteer work. Since Hurricane Katrina, New Orleans has been a hot spot for such altruistic trips. AVMA members and their families attending the Association's Annual Convention in New Orleans this July will help the city by refurbishing four area animal shelters.
Attendees of the AVMA Annual Convention in New Orleans this July will have the opportunity to roll up their sleeves to help rehabilitate area animal shelters still recovering from Hurricane Katrina.
On July 17-18, just before the first day of the convention on July 19, up to 100 volunteers will refurbish animal shelters in four city parishes identified by the Louisiana Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals.
"Knowing what kind of tragedy and hardship the people and the animals endured as a result of Katrina, we thought what better way to give back than leverage our convention to help repair some of the damage that was done," explained David Little, director of the AVMA Convention and Meeting Planning Division.
Adding a philanthropic project to the AVMA convention experience had been in the works for a couple years, added Malyssa Sopko, assistant director of the division. Given the ongoing recovery efforts in post-Katrina New Orleans, the site of the 2008 convention was the perfect place to begin the project. "What better place to roll this out?" Sopko said.
