Scientific program
Scientific sessions covering virology research, public health, and pandemic preparedness.
Emerging and re-emerging viral diseases pose significant threats to global public health, often resulting in outbreaks, epidemics, or even pandemics. Emerging viral diseases are those caused by newly identified or previously unrecognized viruses, such as SARS-CoV-2 (which led to COVID-19), Nipah virus, and Zika virus.
Viral evolution and adaptation are dynamic processes driven by genetic mutations, recombination, and natural selection. Viruses have high mutation rates, especially RNA viruses, which lack proofreading mechanisms, allowing them to rapidly evolve and adapt to new environments, hosts, and immune responses.
Virus-host interactions and immune evasion are central to viral survival and pathogenesis. Viruses rely on host cells for replication, hijacking cellular machinery to produce viral components while evading immune detection.
Advances in viral genomics and metagenomics have revolutionized our understanding of viruses, their diversity, and their impact on ecosystems and human health. High-throughput sequencing technologies, such as next-generation sequencing (NGS) and long-read sequencing, have enabled rapid and comprehensive viral genome characterization.
Viral pathogenesis refers to the complex process by which viruses infect a host, evade the immune system, replicate, and cause disease. The disease mechanisms involve multiple factors, including viral entry, replication strategies, immune evasion tactics, and host responses.
Viruses are microscopic infectious agents composed of genetic material (DNA or RNA) enclosed within a protein coat called a capsid. Some viruses also have an outer lipid envelope derived from the host cell membrane, which helps them evade the immune system. The structure of a virus varies, with shapes ranging from helical and icosahedral to complex forms.
