The World Society for Virology was established in 2017 in order to link different virologists worldwide in an official society with no restriction based on income or physical location. [1] The society aims to strengthen research on viruses affecting humans, animals, plants and other organisms.
The society was formally founded following a meeting organized by Bernard Roizman of 40 prominent virology researchers at O'Hare International Airport in Chicago on June 9, 1981. [2] Its first official annual meeting, organized by Milt Zaitlin, took place at Cornell University in August 1982—its membership had reached almost 1,000 scientists ...
Other ASM meetings and conferences cater to narrower audiences, including: ASM Biothreats (formerly ASM Biodefense and Emerging Diseases Research) which focuses on biodefense and emerging diseases, the Clinical Virology Symposium which focuses on viral infections, the Conference for Undergraduate Educators which focuses on biology education at ...
Review articles cover general virology, the mechanisms of viral disease, host–pathogen interactions, and cellular and immune responses to viral infection. [3] As of 2024, Journal Citation Reports lists the journal's 2023 impact factor as 8.1, ranking it third of 41 journal titles in the category "Virology". [2]
The ISNV regularly sponsors an International Symposium on NeuroVirology and concurrent Conference on HIV in the Nervous System. These meetings involve more than 350 basic and clinical scientists and trainees working in the areas of neurology, neuropathology, neuropathogenesis, neurobiology, neuroimmunology, neurochemistry, and molecular virology.
The International Committee on Taxonomy of Viruses (ICTV) authorizes and organizes the taxonomic classification of and the nomenclature for viruses. [1] [2] [3] The ICTV develops a universal taxonomic scheme for viruses, and thus has the means to appropriately describe, name, and classify every virus taxon.
Virology Journal is an open-access peer-reviewed medical journal published by BioMed Central. It publishes research related to viruses and the prevention of viral infection (including vaccination , the use of antiviral agents , and gene therapy ).
Logo of the Global Virus Network. The Global Virus Network (GVN) is an international coalition of medical virologists whose goal is to help the international medical community by improving the detection and management of viral diseases.
