Special Issue Introduction
The International Meeting of the Amazon Initiative for Tropical Bite Research (5-7 Dec 2022
https://iaimt.citbm.net/html/ingles.html) is an international scientific event held by the Amazon Initiative for Tropical Bite Research (IAIMT) which was established in 2019 with the goal of creating transdisciplinary solutions to the problem of animal bites and related diseases in Amazonian communities. The proposal of the event is to pool the most recent findings regarding the surveillance, control and prevention of animal bites and associated diseases, especially in the Amazon region. The event will bring together researchers, undergraduate and graduate students, as well as public health professionals to share knowledge and experiences that should culminate in the establishment of new partnerships with colleagues from other countries.
This special issue will include the abstracts presented during the symposium as well as full articles in the form of Review/Commentary/Perspective/Opinion papers from participants at the Conference. All the submitted articles will undergo a strict peer-review process.
