Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
It is our great pleasure to welcome you to the 2nd International Online Conference on Veterinary Sciences (IOCVS 2026), which will take place online on 7–9 September 2026. This event is organized by the open access MDPI journal Veterinary Sciences (ISSN: 2306-7381; Impact Factor: 2.3).
Following the successful first edition, IOCVS 2026 returns with a sharpened focus on global health challenges at the human–animal–environment interface. This year’s conference will highlight cutting-edge research and foster cross-disciplinary exchange through three key themes:
S1. One Health Approaches to Emerging Zoonotic Threats;
S2. Surveillance and Epidemiological Modelling at the Human–Animal–Environment Interface;
S3. Antimicrobial Resistance and Food Safety: A One Health Perspective.
Our goal is to provide an engaging platform that bridges research and practice, encourages collaboration across disciplines, and inspires innovative solutions to safeguard animal and human health alike.
We warmly invite the community to join us in shaping this exciting event. Together, let us engage in meaningful discussions, share innovative research, and address pressing global challenges at the intersection of veterinary science, public health, and environmental health.
For details on oral and poster submissions, please see the Instructions for Authors on the conference website.
Your support and contributions are essential to the success of this event, and we look forward to welcoming you to IOCVS 2026.
Prof. Dr. Patrick Butaye
