Welcome to the ISHAM Website.

The ISHAM congress in Tokyo and its satellite in Beijing have both been extremely successful, with altogether 922 participants from 53 countries in Japan and 280 participants from 20 countries in China. The full abstracts will soon appear on the ISHAM website, and later we will devote a special issue of Medical Mycology to some of the many highlights. I am very happy that I could finish my term as ISHAM President in such a euphoric way. It has been an exciting period, with lots of activities, and many more to come. I thank all those who have shared interest in ISHAM and gave the society an enormous boost into modernity. And I wish our current President, David Ellis, good luck! I will remain active in the Council for the next three years, it will be a pleasure to contribute to the growth of the international networks of our Society.
Sybren de Hoog, past ISHAM President. 2006-2009
