Dear Fellow Dermatologists and Friends,
The Congress Organizers and the Clinic of Companion Animal Medicine, School of Veterinary Medicine, Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, are very proud and honored to invite you to attend and enjoy the 20th Annual Congress of the ESVD-ECVD, which will take place in Chalkidiki, Greece, from September 8th to September 10th, 2005.
Following the ESVD-ECVD tradition the Scientific Committee has prepared a program, which includes Scientific and Continuing Education sections as well as Free Communications and Posters. We have tried to enrich the Continuing Education program a little bit, not only because the majority of the Congress delegates are usually general practitioners, but also because in the preceding 5th World Congress of Veterinary Dermatology (Vienna, 2004) there will be to much derm science to enjoy! However, the Scientific Program has been scheduled to satisfy even the most demanding veterinary dermatologist. It is our deep intention to have the general practitioner updated in the ever expanding and fascinating field of Veterinary Dermatology the way he or she will really enjoy, and also to provide an opportunity to the delegates, coming from different countries, to meet, discuss and exchange their research and clinical experiences.
The Scientific Program, containing interesting subjects such as Staphylococcus intermedius and canine allergies, aeroallergens, feline autoimmune alopecias, follicular diseases, keratinization disorders, leishmaniosis, cutaneous inflammation and canine atopy and feline eosinophilic dermatoses, will be covered by speakers of international reputation and ambitious young colleagues. To fulfill the purpose of the Continuing Education program well-known lecturers will bring us up to date on exotic animal dermatology, diagnostic dilemmas in canine hypothyroidism, elimination diets, otitis externa and many other clinically-oriented topics.
It is more then sure that you will learn more about dermatology in a friendly and relaxing atmosphere, enjoying swimming, sunbathing, the BBQ-folklore night and most of all the Greek hospitality, that will remain unforgettable. This is why we have chosen the greatest beach of Cassandra and Athos Palace-Pallini Beach hotel complex as the venue of the much promising 20th Annual Congress of the ESVD-ECVD. Before and after the event donÂ’t miss the opportunity to visit some famous ancient Macedonial sites located not far from the city of Thessaloniki or to enjoy a boat trip around the Holy Mountain peninsula. For all these reasons donÂ’t forget to mark September 8th to 10th 2005 on your diary.
We are looking forward to seeing you in Chalkidiki and to welcoming you to the Athos Palace-Pallini Beach.
