| The American Society for Virology
was founded in 1981 to provide a forum for investigators
of human, animal, insect, plant, fungal, and bacterial
viruses, whether the research involves clinical, ecological,
biological, or biochemical approaches. The stated aim
of the Society is to promote the exchange of information
and stimulate discussion and collaboration among scientists
active in all aspects of virology. These goals are achieved
by means of meetings organized or sponsored by the Society,
obtaining for the members reduced subscription rates
for virological journals, soliciting travel grants to
attend national and international meetings and representation
on national and international councils. |
