History
of Virology
This site is supported by a grant from the Alfred P.
Sloan Foundation to the American Society for Virology
and is part of the Sloan Foundation Program on the
Recent History of Science and Engineering of the Web.
This ASV site is on the history of structural virology
and was created by Sondra and Milton Schlesinger, Department
of Molecular Microbiology, Washington University School
of Medicine, St. Louis, Missouri, who are responsible
for its content.

Poxvirus
Bioinformatics Resource Center
This Center has been established to provide resources
to the scientific community for basic research and
to facilitate the development of novel antiviral therapies
and vaccines against human orthopoxvirus infections
as well as approaches for environmental detection of
virions and the rapid diagnosis of disease. The Center
provides a relational database that supports data storage
of poxvirus genomic sequences, and annotation and analysis
of poxvirus ORF; web-based data mining and sequence
analysis tools; software for analysis of complete genomes;
a poxvirus literature resource; a repository of poxvirus
species and strains (at ATCC); and a discussion forum.
International
Union of Microbiological Societies;
International Congress of Virology
The American Society for Virology is a member of the
IUMS. The IUMS is an alliance of 100 microbiological
societies in 41 countries. Its objectives are to promote
the dissemination of the findings of microbiological
research worldwide, to provide training to microbiologists,
and to foster international collaboration on important
issues and research questions in microbiology.
IUMS Structure: Overarching governance
of IUMS is the responsibility of the IUMS General Assembly,
made up of representatives of IUMS Member Societies.
Approximately every three years, the General Assembly
elects an Executive Board which has oversight of IUMS
activities and makes financial and planning decisions
of behalf of the Members. Many of IUMS activities take
place within the committees, federations, and commissions
of the three IUMS Divisions: Virology, Mycology, and
Bacteriology and Applied Microbiology.
Collaborative Activities: IUMS has
concerned itself with assisting Divisions, Member Societies,
IUMS Committees, Commissions & Federations (Comcofs)
with Congresses, Meetings, and Workshops. IUMS assists
young scientists and scientists from developing countries
to attend IUMS International Congresses.
For more information and information about the upcoming
Congresses, please access the above link to the IUMS
