Submit abstract

Abstract Submission Deadline: 30 May 2025

Oral and paper abstracts are now invited on the following topics. They should be submitted using the online abstract submission system opens in new tab/window.

Conference topics

  • Genetics and genomics of pathogens and vectors

  • Host-pathogen Interactions

  • Host susceptibility to transmissible diseases

  • Molecular epidemiology and taxonomy

  • Population genetics and genomics

  • Phylogenetics, phylogenomics, phylogeography

  • Metagenomics

  • Evolution of resistance and response to immune system pressures

  • Experimental evolution

  • Mathematical modelling of infectious processes

  • One Health approaches to infectious diseases

You can submit as many abstracts to the conference for review as you would like. If, after the review by the committee, you have more than one paper accepted for the conference, you will need to register to attend, and pay an additional paper fee for each additional paper (i.e., for the 2nd, 3rd, 4th papers – not the 1st). Please note this is for papers that you are the presenting author of, not papers that you are co-author of.

Successfully submitted abstracts will be acknowledged with an electronic receipt including an abstract reference number, which should be quoted in all correspondence. Allow at least 2 hours for your receipt to be returned to you. Once the paper is accepted, at least one of the authors must register for the conference and present the paper at the conference.

Abstracts of all accepted contributions will be included within the online abstract system which will be distributed to all registered conference participants.

For revisions or queries regarding papers already submitted:

If you do not receive acknowledgement for your abstract submission or you wish to make any essential revisions to an abstract already submitted, please DO NOT RESUBMIT your abstract, as this may lead to duplication. Please contact the Conference Content Executive (Please do not email credit card information under any circumstances) with details of any revisions or queries. Please quote your reference number if you have one.

Special issue

Selected talks and posters communicated at MEEGID XVI will be invited to submit to a special issue of Infection, Genetics and Evolution highlighting some of the key research presented at the meeting.
