Dear Colleagues and Friends,

on behalf of the Austrian Society of Hygiene and Preventive Medicine (ÖGHMP) and the ESCMID Study Group for Lyme Borreliosis (ESGBOR), it is our pleasure to inform you about the upcoming International Symposium on Tick-Borne Pathogens and Disease, ITPD 2026. The ITPD 2026 is a joint activity between ESGBOR and ÖGHMP.

The ITPD symposium, established by Professor Gerold Stanek in 2017, addresses topics related to ticks, tick-borne pathogens, and associated diseases within both research and clinical contexts.

We are looking forward to welcoming you to Vienna and experiencing a scientifically rewarding and personally enriching symposium.
