The theme of this symposium is “Controlling Epidemics of Emerging and Established Plant Virus Diseases – The Way Forward.” The past two decades have seen tremendous advances in the fields of plant virus epidemiology and control through use of conventional and modern techniques significantly contributing to the effective management of numerous virus diseases. At the same time, several unknown viruses have emerged in new niches and several established viruses have become resurgent, greatly affecting the productivity of crops.

This International Plant Virus Epidemiology Symposium, held for the first time in Asia, will provide a forum of experts for exchange of information on causes for virus epidemics, with a principal focus on virus disease control. We invite you to take part in the symposium and present your latest research results.

This symposium is held under auspices of the International Plant Virus Epidemiology Committee (IPVE) of the International Society for Plant Pathology (ISPP) and hosted by the International Crops Research Institute for the Semi-Arid Tropics (ICRISAT), situated in Hyderabad, India.
