9th International Calicivirus Conference
This Conference, which is organized every three years, brings together scientists studying
calicivirus virology, evolution, pathogenesis, structural biology, diagnosis, epidemiology,
treatment and prevention. Our philosophy is to bring all fields of science together, limiting
the number of parallel sessions to allow bridging between basic and translational experts to
stimulate collaboration. In recent years, significant and exiting progress has been made in
understanding the virus life cycle, the burden and biology of calicivirus infections in humans
and animals, the virus interactions with healthy and immunocompromised hosts, interactions
with the microbiome, immunity, host genetics and epidemiology. Several treatment
strategies and vaccines are under development to control acute and chronic norovirus
infections in humans.
Invited Speakers:
Tulio Fumian, Investigator, Oswaldo Cruz Institute, Oswaldo Cruz Foundation
Marion Koopmans, Head department of Viroscience, Erasmus MC
