At the International Society for Infectious Diseases (ISID), our mission is to support health professionals, non-government organizations, and governments around the world in their work to prevent, investigate, and manage infectious disease outbreaks when they occur. ISID has a particular focus in countries that have limited resources and which disproportionately bear the burden of infectious diseases. The ISID recognizes the intersection of infectious diseases in humans, animals, and plants, that infectious diseases cross all national and regional boundaries, and that effective long-term solutions require international scientific exchange and cooperation.
The Society is dedicated to developing partnerships and to finding solutions to the problems of infectious diseases across the globe and encourages the collaborative efforts of human health, veterinary health, and environmental health communities working locally, nationally, and globally for best control and management of infectious diseases.
The Society is a global non-profit 501(c)(3) charitable organization open to all individuals interested in infectious diseases.
