The Eighth Annual “One Medicine” Symposium, Reality Bites:  A One Medicine Approach to Vector-Borne Diseases, will take place on December 8, 2010 at the Sheraton Imperial Hotel and Convention Center, Durham, NC. The theme of the 2010 symposium focuses on the effects of vector-borne diseases on human and animal health. 

This year’s agenda encourages human and animal health professionals to come together to explore key questions so we can improve awareness and understanding of issues benefiting from a One Medicine approach.  Previous Symposium attendees have included physicians, veterinarians, nurses, veterinary technicians, public health professionals, Department of Defense participants, emergency managers, food industry representatives, and wildlife and agriculture professionals.
