Dear Colleagues and Friends,
The International Society for Human and Animal Mycology (ISHAM) organizes its general congress every three years and provides clinicians, scientists and students an outstanding opportunity to meet most key leaders in the field of medical mycology from all continents. It is with great pleasure that we invite you to participate in the 22nd ISHAM Congress 2025 held in Iguaçu Falls, Brazil, from 20 to 24 May 2025.
The 22nd ISHAM Congress 2025 will be organized together with the 23rd INFOCUS annual meeting and the International Meeting on Endemic Mycoses of the Americas (IMEMA).
We are working with our scientific and executive committees to provide our community with one of the best Congress ever organized by ISHAM. Besides providing you with an attractive scientific program addressing all the main challenges in medical and veterinary mycology, we will come up with an excellent opportunity for socializing and establishing collaborations with reference centres from around the globe. Indeed, many long-standing friendships and professional collaborations have been initiated at our meetings.
Iguazu Falls is located in the south part of Brazil and is widely acknowledged as the world’s most breathtaking complex of waterfalls. In this location, you may witness the fork in the rivers Iguassu and Paraná, where all three borders of Argentina, Brazil and Paraguay come together. By travelling miles down the Iguazu River and through the different tiers of the falls, you will be exposed to exceptional views of the gorgeous scenery. In addition, you may visit our national parks and see the beauty of our plants and wildlife. Finally, you may also taste an exceptional gastronomic experience represented by our cuisine style, which is a food fusion that brings together numerous influences from native pueblos and immigrants from Africa and Europe.
Come to Iguaçu Falls and enjoy ISHAM 2025!
Arnaldo L. Colombo
ISHAM 2025 Congress President
