The 2017 ICOPHAI Organizing Committee thanks all who contributed to making the 4th Congress a great success. The primary goals of this Congress were to stimulate interactions between scientists from various geographic regions and disciplines working in the areas of health, agriculture and environment; Exchange scientific information on infectious disease risk factors, antimicrobial resistant issues, current technological advances in diagnosis, vaccine development, as well as the limitations and gaps in knowledge on pathogens at the animal-human-environment-plant interface. To the attendees, we appreciate you for taking the time and effort to join us in Doha, Qatar this past week and we hope that you found the conference informative and worthwhile. We also thank you for your participation, and sharing of your ideas and expertise and were delighted to meet you all.
A special thanks to our sponsors and organizing partners for their generosity and support: Qatar University (QU), Hamad bin Khalifa University (HBKU), the Qatar Ministry of Public Health (MOPH), Weill Cornell School of Medicine- Qatar, Hamad Medical Corporation (HMC), Qatar National Research Fund (QNRF), University of Montreal (UOM), Federal University of Paraiba (UFPB), the University of Gondar (UOG), the National Institutes of Health (NIH) Fogarty Center, Phytobiotics, SolerCool Technologies, the Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council (BBSRC), and The Ohio State University (OSU).
