The APS Virology Committee

At the 2006 Annual Meeting of the American Phytopathological Society in Quebec City, Quebec, the Virology Committee sponsored a session whose presentations have potential value in the teaching of plant virology. The speakers have kindly agreed to make their slide presentations available to others. Clicking on the links below will deliver MS Power Point presentations to you.
