The APS Virology Committee

One of the important functions of the Virology Committee is to propose and organize relevant program sessions for the Annual Meeting of the American Phytopathological Society. The suggestions for these special sessions are submitted and discussed at the Virology Committee meeting each year. Listed below are the sessions sponsored by the Virology Committee for the last eleven years as well as those being proposed for future years.
