Welcome to ISCAID – Your Global Partner in Companion Animal Infectious Disease

At the International Society for Companion Animal Infectious Diseases (ISCAID), we’re a community of veterinary professionals committed to advancing the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of infectious diseases in dogs, cats, and other companion animals.

ISCAID was founded with one goal in mind: to support veterinarians and researchers like you with the latest evidence-based knowledge and clinical guidance. Our members include specialists from around the world who collaborate to create practical resources, develop consensus guidelines, and promote research that directly impacts patient care.

Whether you’re in general practice, academia, or industry, ISCAID offers opportunities to stay at the forefront of infectious disease management. Our biennial symposium brings together leaders in the field for high-level discussions, case presentations, and networking. We also offer up-to-date guidelines, access to working groups, and a network of professionals who share your commitment to improving animal health.

Joining ISCAID means becoming part of an international effort to elevate standards of care, enhance clinical outcomes, and contribute to the ongoing fight against emerging and persistent infectious threats.

Explore our resources, connect with peers, and consider becoming a member today. Together, we’re shaping the future of infectious disease care in companion animals. We're thrilled that you have joined us and hope that your experience here is both educational and rewarding.
