The World Society for Virology was established in 2017 in order to link different virologists worldwide in an official society with no restriction based on income or physical location.[1]

Mission[]

The society's mission is to strengthen research on viruses affecting humans, animals, plants and other organisms.[2]

Membership[]

WSV has more than 1,500 members from 86 countries. Membership is open for all including scientists, researchers, postgraduate students who involved in virology research. Membership is offered without annual fee.[3]

The society is currently a partner of the following virology societies:

  • Indian Virological Society[4]
  • Colombian Association for Virology
  • Mexican Virology Networking
  • Finnish Society for Study of Infectious Diseases
  • Societas biochemica, biophysica et microbiologica Fenniae[5]
  • Chinese Society for Virology (Division of the Chinese Society for Microbiology)
  • Société Marocaine de Microbiologie Médicale[6]
  • Swedish Society for Virology[7]

Official journal[]

  • Virology, a journal published by Elsevier, is the official journal of the society.

Other organizations[]

  • WSV exchanged a memorandum of understanding with the International Vaccine Institute on 13 February 2020 to establish collaboration between the two organizations in strengthening virology research, encouraging capacity building for virologists around the world, and promoting the wide availability of safe, effective, and affordable vaccines for people in low- and middle-income countries.[8]
