The Sixth Meeting of the Consortium for the Control of Zoonoses was held on July 19 and 20, 2018 at the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, Hokkaido University.  The symposium was attended by 191 people in total; including 10 researchers from the University of Melbourne, University College Dublin and King Abdullah University of Science and Technology, and 14 researchers from Global Station for Zoonosis Control, GI-CoRE, Hokkaido University.  Presentations were made on the progress of the on-going international collaborative research of the GI-CoRE project over the four years since it began in April 2014.  These presentations were followed by an active question and answer session.  The progress and future plans for new research projects starting from 2017 were also presented.  The consortium meeting provided a meaningful opportunity to confirm our continuous promotion of basic research, applied research and clinical research for the control of zoonoses and to strengthen international collaboration between the four universities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
