17th Meeting of ICVG

Share Email Print

The ICVG is a non-profit scientific organization founded in 1964. The council organises regular scientific meetings to promote research and international collaboration related to virus and virus-like diseases of grapevines.

Mission: About 70 Viruses or virus-like agents (viroids and phytoplasmas) are known to infect grapevine. Many of them cause disorders that reduce the plant vigour and longevity or the quality and quantity of the yield. Infected propagating material is largely responsible for the spread of these diseases among and within viticultural regions. Thus all efforts should be made to improve its sanitary conditions and to protect selected healthy clones from new infections.

We are excited to announce the international meeting set for October 7-14, 2012 at the University of California, Davis. This website has conference information and online registration, plus local information about the beautiful venue.

If you are interested in making an oral or poster presentation, the deadline for submitting an extended abstract is June 15, 2012. Instructions are posted for the format requirements and how to upload it via this site.

The official ICVG website, with archives and organizational details can be accessed here.
