The Japan Society of Veterinary Epidemiology has been contributing to the promotion of epidemiological research and education in animal health and public health since its establishment in 1997. The Society has been publishing two issues of the ‘Journal of Veterinary Epidemiology’ every year and organizing at least two academic meetings every year since its establishment. The Society compiled a textbook of veterinary epidemiology that meets the university core curriculum adopted in 2012. Members of the Society contributed to providing useful information to policy makers in solving problems of various animal and zoonotic diseases. Among them are foot-and-mouth disease, BSE and highly pathogenic influenza, which had never occurred or occurred for the first time in many years in Japan in the early 2000s. The Society currently faces the challenge of how to increase the number of journal publications and promote international exchange.
