Reported presentations examined avian-influenza surveillance, schistosomiasis across human and livestock populations, and antimicrobial resistance in clinical, animal, food and environmental settings. Discussion covered laboratory surveillance, genomic methods and cooperation between sectors. These verified sessions illustrate part of the conference; they are not presented as an exhaustive programme.
