ABOUT US Our Mission At the International Society for Infectious Diseases (ISID), our mission is to support health professionals, non-government organizations, and governments around the world in their work to prevent, investigate, and manage infectious disease outbreaks when they occur. ISID has a particular focus in countries that have limited resources and which disproportionately bear the burden of infectious diseases. The ISID recognizes the intersection of infectious diseases in humans, animals, and plants, that infectious diseases cross all national and regional boundaries, and that effective long-term solutions require international scientific exchange and cooperation. The Society is dedicated to developing partnerships and to finding solutions to the problems of infectious diseases across the globe and encourages the collaborative efforts of human health, veterinary health, and environmental health communities working locally, nationally, and globally for best control and management of infectious diseases. The Society is a global non-profit 501(c)(3) charitable organization open to all individuals interested in infectious diseases. ISID Goals Our goals are to:
 History The International Society for Infectious Diseases was created in 1986 by a merger between the International Congress on Infectious Diseases and The International Federation on Infectious and Parasitic Diseases. The International Congress of Infectious Diseases (ICID) had been established in 1983 as a scientific assembly for the exchange of research and clinical information in infectious diseases open to any interested individual. An ad-hoc Executive Committee for the Congress initiated discussions with the IFIPD that culminated in the 1986 merger of these two organizations. The 1st ICID organized by the newly created Society was held in Rio de Janeiro in 1988. The International Society for Infectious Diseases brings together a network of individuals from around the world who share a collective belief that infectious diseases cross all national and regional boundaries and that long-term effective solutions require international scientific exchange and cooperation. ISID and its members are dedicated to developing partnerships and programs that facilitate the development of innovative solutions to infectious disease challenges around the globe, enabled by an effective and inclusive governance model.
