2nd Southeast Asia Ticks and Tick-borne Diseases Symposium
28–29 August 2025 | National University of Singapore
The second Southeast Asia Ticks and Tick-borne Diseases Symposium will convene a distinguished group of scientists, healthcare professionals, veterinarians, policymakers, and industry leaders at the National University of Singapore. Over the course of two days, participants will engage in meaningful exchange and collaboration to tackle the growing and intricate challenges posed by ticks and the diseases they transmit.
Southeast Asia’s rich biodiversity, evolving climate conditions, and intense human-animal-environment interactions create a unique landscape for public and animal health concerns. This symposium addresses these urgent issues through the lens of the One Health approach, which recognizes the interconnectedness of human, animal, and environmental health.
The program will offer participants the opportunity to explore the latest developments in:
Monitoring and identifying tick species and emerging pathogens
Advancements in diagnostic tools and applied research
Comprehensive strategies for disease prevention and control
Understanding the socio-economic implications and setting public health priorities
Strengthening the role of research institutions and fostering cross-sector collaboration
Attendees will benefit from keynote speeches, panel discussions, and interactive sessions. Leading experts such as Kimberly Fornace, Benoit Malleret, and Jean-Marc Chavatte will share their knowledge and perspectives.
Organized by a multidisciplinary team—including members from NUS Yong Loo Lin School of Medicine, the Singapore Ministry of Health, Saw Swee Hock School of Public Health, National Environment Agency, Mandai Wildlife Group, Duke-NUS Medical School, and A*STAR Infectious Diseases Labs—the symposium promises to be a valuable platform for regional cooperation and innovation.
Whether you are a researcher, clinician, veterinarian, policymaker, or industry representative, this event offers a unique opportunity to connect with peers, share insights, and help shape effective responses to tick-borne disease threats in Southeast Asia.
