Plenary lectures and symposia will also deal with transversal topics, such as population genetics, evolution, speciation, taxonomy, phylogenetics and phylodynamics, modelling, and molecular epidemiology.
During the conference, awards will be attributed to the best oral presentation, the best oral presentation by a student, the best oral presentation by a scientist from the Southern World and the best poster presentation. The prize for each award is a fully waived APC to submit a paper to Infection, Genetics and Evolution [https://www.sciencedirect.com/journal/infection-genetics-and-evolution] and €500.
Selected papers communicated in the framework of MEEGID XVI will be published after peer-review in a special issue of Infection, Genetics and Evolution.
