About
Foamy Viruses are complex retroviruses that are widespread in several animal species. Several research topics on these viruses are relevant to human health:
– cross-species transmission and viral emergence,
– vectors for gene therapy,
– development of antiretroviral drugs,
– retroviral evolution and its impact on the human genome.
The series of Foamy Virus conferences is an important international forum devoted to all aspects of Foamy Virus research: infections and zoonoses, molecular biology, vector development, and host-virus interactions. Such meetings create a great opportunity for discussion, networking and collaboration.The organizers would like to invite scientists interested in Foamy Virus research to join us in Paris to actively participate in this meeting in a friendly and informal environment.
