Welcome from the Chair
Dear Colleagues,
We are delighted to announce the 1st International Online Conference on Veterinary Sciences (IOCVS 2025), set to take place online from December 3rd to 5th, 2025, promoted by the open access MDPI journal Veterinary Sciences (ISSN: 2306-7381; IF: 2.0). This virtual event provides an invaluable platform for researchers, clinicians, and experts in veterinary sciences to gather, discuss, and exchange insights on the latest developments in the field.
This conference will focus on, but is not limited to, the following five sessions:
-Identification and Detection of Novel Animal Viruses;
-Development and Optimization of Animal Vaccines;
-Veterinary Epidemiology;
-Antiviral Therapy;
-Relationship Between Viruses and Microbiomes.
We invite the community to join us in making the first International Online Conference on Veterinary Sciences a successful and impactful event. Let’s engage, collaborate, and push the boundaries of veterinary science together!
For more information on poster and oral submissions, please see the "Instructions for Authors" on the conference website.
Lastly, we would like to express our sincere gratitude for your unwavering support and participation, which will make this conference a great success!
