Topics considered will include those covering the full spectrum of issues of impact and importance to those interested in animal - human interaction, zoonoses, food safety, and veterinary public health. The program will consist of two or three 90 minute sessions of 15 - 20 minute papers in addition to a potential poster session addressing the following recommended topics:

• Animal hoarding, feral/stray animals, animal trafficking, and animal shelters
  
• Antimicrobial resistance
  
• Benefits of the human-animal interaction
  
• Emerging zoonoses and pets
  
• Environmental impacts and zoonotic diseases
  
• Farm animals in suburban/urban settings
  
• Food safety
  
• Linkages between domestic violence in people and animals
  
• One world, one medicine, one health
  

All accepted abstracts will be grouped into appropriate sessions using the above suggestions as a guide; however, all veterinary public health topics will be considered.
