10th International Plant Virus Epidemiology Symposium
Hyderabad, India - The diverse scientific programme will generate solutions to plant viral disease problems in all continents and create significant impact on developmental issues benefiting people worldwide.
The 10th International Plant Virus Epidemiology (IPVE) symposium, themed Controlling Epidemics of Emerging and Established Plant Virus Diseases - The Way Forward, will be held from 15 - 19 October 2007, at the International Crops Research Institute for the Semi-Arid Tropics (ICRISAT), situated in Hyderabad, India.
This symposium is held under auspices of the International Plant Virus Epidemiology Committee (IPVE) of the International Society for Plant Pathology (ISPP). The ISPP was founded in 1968 in the United Kingdom, for worldwide development of plant pathology. The ISPP is a member of the International Union of Biological Sciences (IUBS), the International Union of Microbiological Sciences (IUMS), in liaison with the UN Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO). The ISPP sponsors International Congress of Plant Pathology, and the International Meetings of its Subject Committees.
